MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, Office of Legislative Liaison
VIA: Chief, Liaison Division/OLL
FROM:
Liaison Division/OLL
SUBJECT: "Pay Banding": New Pay Schedules for
Telecommunications Officers
1'. The Director of Personnel and Communications are
planning to implement on 1 October 1984 new pay schedules
for telecommunications officers in the Office of
Communications (OC). The new schedules, called "Pay
Banding," include five pay schedules with 29 to 32 steps in
each schedule. It is now speculated that if the new system
functions successfully for this initial group, it, would be
extended to include OC technicians, and then to
include other Agency groups. "Pay Banding" has been
discussed as a possible Agency-wide system that could
replace the General Schedule.
2. The Office of Personnel is preparing a memorandum
for the DDCI to send to the House and Senate Oversight
Committees and to the Office of Management and Budget
While Section 8 of the CIA ACT gives the Agency the
authority to implement this change without informing the
Committees, it seems advisable to do so. Only one other
federal agency is experimenting-with the new system. The
Department of the Navy has been trying the new schedules at
a China Lake, California facility since 1980 and recently
received Congressional approval to extend the experiment an
additional five years. The Congressional Budget Office will
publish cost analysis of "Pay Banding" in about three weeks;
reportedly, the study will point out the relatively high
cost of this schedule. According to of Position
Management and Compensation Division, ice o ersonnel,

the start-up cost will be an estimated
- In the long term, "Pay Banding" might be
more cost effective than the General Schedule, but
Personnel's cost data is weak and additional analysis is
necessary. A task force has been meeting since June to
identify the administrative and mechanical procedures needed
to support the system.
3. OC management is currently telling OC employees that
"Pay Banding" is a revolutionary concept that will allow
employees to earn more frequent and consistent pay raises
that will bring them up to market place salaries. The
General Schedule is being criticized as inflexible and full
of barriers that cause long delays in pay increases. OC has
made a video tape on "Pay Banding" to send to overseas
stations.
4. The Department of State has been told that the
Agency is looking at alternative pay schedules, but has not
been told the details. Other federal components, such as
the Office of Personnel Management and the Navy, are aware
of the Agency's serious interest in "Pay Banding".
