December 2, 1992 POLICY ISSUE ScCv-92-401 (NEGATIVE CONSENT) far:
The Commissioners Lw:
James M. Taylor Executive Director for Operations Sybjgtt:
WAITING PERIOD CHANGE FOR PERFORMANCE BASED CHANGES TO BASE PAY FOR MEMBERS Of 1HE SENIOR LEVEL SYS1Li (SLS)
Eurpmg:
To advise the Commission of a change in the waiting period requirements to effect performance based changes in pay for NRC SLS members.
Egigr_qynd:
When the SLS was established by the Commission by SECY-91-274, one of the principles was that there would be a minimum one year waiting period for aerformance-based adjustments to base pay within a pay sand.
At the time the current SLS members were converted to the new system on December 1,1991, the initial pay adjustment reflected both the conversion pay and a 5%
performance based conversion increase.
Thus, the one year waiting period before another performance based increase to base pay was set, lhis was reflected on the SF 50 Personnel Notification Form for each SLS member.
SECY-91-294 also changed the performance appraisal period from October 1 through September 30 to July 1 through June 30 to bring it in line with the performance appraisal period for the SES.
As a result of the waiting period now applicable to most individuals in the SLS and the appraisal period change, there is an extended period which occurs between the Senior Level Review Panel recommendations and final decision concerning performance based

2 adjustments to base pay (which occur in the August / September timeframe) and when such decisions can be implemented (December).
Discussion:
To avoid continuing this disparity between the date of the pay decision and the date that the pay adjustment is actually made, the forthcoming Management Directive 10.145, ' Senior Level System" is being changed to revise the phrasing of the waiting period so that instead of a waiting period of 12 months (following the exact language of the OPH rule - which we have used as a guide for NRC's Senior Level System), the waiting period would be changed to reflect that a performance based base pay adjustment could be made only once for each appraisal period (July 1 through June 30.)
This change would be effective beginning with the July 1, 1992 through June 30, 1993 appraisal period.
While in the future this would have the same effect as a one year waiting period, there will be a one time waiver for this initial change period so that any base pay adjustments made based on the June 30, 1993 appraisal can be made as close to the date of the final decision as possible.
Subsequently, any approved base pay adjustments would be on '.he same cycle as the annual appraisals.
Coordination:
The Office of the General Counsel has no legal objection.
Recommendation:
That the Commission:
Note that it is my intention to revise the Management Directive as indicated above after 10 working days from the date of this paper unless instructed otherwise by the Commission.
