Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Effective Date of Negotiated Wage Rates

B-185506 Sep 02, 1976
Jump To:

Highlights

A decision was requested regarding the propriety of granting retroactive pay increases to radio technicians covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The agency and the union agreed to conduct a wage survey and to implement a new wage schedule, but the action was delayed while the agency sought approval from the Civil Service Commission. The agency and the union may agree in advance to an effective date of a new wage schedule before the amount of the increase is determined, and the new wage rate may be implemented retroactively.
