PMCD REVIEW OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOURLY RATES FOR DOCUMENT
FINISHER SPECIALIST/OFFSET PRESSMAN AND OFFSET/LETTERPRESSMAN
1. In reviewing its records, PMCD found that the title
of Document Finisher Specialist/Offset Pressman first appeared
in the GA Schedule which was effective 20 August 1972. (copy
attached) On the Schedule, the journeyman rate for that title
($7.76) was computed at 105% of the highest rate for Document
Finisher Specialist ($7.39). Since that rate was lower than the
highest rate for Offset Pressman ($7.61), just as it is today,
it must be assumed that the computation was based on the lower
rate as a result of a conscious decision.
2. The revision of the GA Schedule which was proposed by
PMCD on 10 November 1975 and concurred in by the Director of
Technical Services, also computed the journeyman rate for Docu-
ment Finisher Specialist/Offset Pressman ($9.94) at 105% of the
highest rate for Document Finisher Specialist ($9.47) rather than
Offset Pressman ($9.89).
3. PMCD believes that the decision to tie the rate of the
Document Finisher Specialist/Offset Pressman to the rate for
Document Finisher Specialist may have been based on the same
principles used for determining GP Schedule rates, as stated in
the Office of Personnel Memorandum No. 20-31-43, dated 17 March
1978, subject: Pay Administration for Government Printing System
Employees:
"Employee titles and corresponding rates of pay will be
determined based on the trade in which the employee is
currently certified as a journeyman. If an employee is
working a predominant portion of the time in a secondary
trade, the uprate will be based upon the secondary trade
if the basic rate of pay for that trade is higher than
the basic rate of pay for the primary trade. The re-
sponsible office must ensure that the specific duties
which were the basis for awarding a combination uprate
position are continually Performed by the incumbent and,
if not, that corrective action is taken to change the
uprate of the employee and/or the position."
