A Performance-Based Incentive System
The Agency endorses any program which strengthens the link between
an employee's job performance and pay. We have not elected to adopt
the Merit Pay system as authorized by the Civil Service Reform Act of
1978 from which the Agency is exempt. Experience gained from our Senior
Intelligence Sex-vice awards procedures will assist us in determining
how best.to proceed toward includin
g most, if not all, Agency employees
in a system which recognizes and rewards quality performance. We are
at the present time actively studying ways in achieving this objective.
Overtime Pay Equities
.hlithout_a_ Dopy-of the,- DOL? proposal, we are presuming that the solution
is aecurate,.i.a-the=proposed regulation would make Federal government
practices closer to but still not in line with the private sector practices.
By reducing the exclusion rate for overtime from $318 (GS-07/1)
to $257 (GS-05/1) overtime costs would be lessened.
Exemptions for air traffic controllers, law enforcement officers, and
fire fighters would remain intact.
While overtime costs would be reduced, concern still exists for
government employees at a time when reduced Federal benefits seem to be
prevalent.
