1. Section 504 of the Federal Salary Reform Act of 1962 authorizes
the President or an agency acting for him to establiah minimum rates and
rate schedules for specific categories of positions, above the rates
specified in the Salary Reform Act, when such advanced rates are required
for recruitment or retention of well qualified personnel. Under this
authority the Civil Service Commission has established advanced rate
schedules for two categories of positions -- Medical Officer and Scientific
and Engineering The Agency has adopted these schedules (Attachment A)
in conformance with its general adoption of the principles of the Classifi-
cation Act of 1949 and amendments thereto. A revision of advanced rates
required by the pay increase effected by Schedule II of the Salary Reform
Act is authorized herein.
2. A new advanced rate schedule has been authoriied for Medical
Officer positions, and rates for Scientific and Engineering positions
have been adjusted in accordance with Commission policy as stated
immediately below. Except where a new advanced rate schedule has been
authorized under Section 504, on the effective date of Schedule II of
the Salary Reform Act the lowest rate of the grade in Compensation Schedule
II of Section 603 (b) of the Classification Act which equals. or exceeds an
increased minimum rate established under Schedule I becomes the new minimum
rate under Schedule II; and all rates of the salary range for the grade are
increased by the dollar amount by which the new minimum rate exceeds the
minimum rate prescribed by law for the grade.
3. The effective date of the new schedules is 5 January 1964. The
schedules apply on a world-wide basis to both current employees and em-
ployees appointed after the effective date.
4. Employees occupying positions covered by advanced rate schedules
will have their pay adjusted on the effective date of the new schedules by
an amount equal to the statutory pay incrgase between Schedule I awl
Schedule II, except in those instances where the employee's salary is
above the maximum of the previous statutory range when a svaller increase
results. The new rates for such employees are shown on-the attached Con-
version Tables (Attachment B). This pay adjustment is not an equivalent
increase for step-increase purposes. OW 4-64
