MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy for Policy, Analysis & Evaluation, OP/DA
SUBJECT:
Deputy Director of Information Technology - Management
Performance Based Compensation (Pay Banding)
1. In August 1985, the Director of Information Technology created a task
force to review general schedule pay relative both to the OIT work force and
to external competitive factors. The task force was to recommend an
alternative pay system if the GS system was found inadequate. I am pleased to
send you the final report of the OIT task force in the hope that it will be of
assistance to your own recently chartered review of pay and benefits. With
luck, we will have done some of the work for you.
2. As you will note, our task force recommends performance based
compensation (pay banding). This plan would reward the quality of work better
than the GS system does. It would give employees a direct way to affect their
pay (by improved performance), and would give supervisors a much more direct
method to reward good performance.
3. The task force report also discusses modification of the current job
classification system in a way that might be helpful to the Agency in
general. I commend the whole report to you and your team. Our task force
members would be pleased to discuss their work with you.
