The worksheets at the end of this Section simplify the procedures for determining maximum payable rate when it was earned against a pay schedule no longer in effect. The worksheets differ slightly depending on whether HPR was earned as a GS or PMRS employee. The rules for maximum payable rate found at Subpart B of Part 531 of 5 CFR have been repeated for convenience in using the worksheets. If an employee's HPR was earned currently, maximum payable rate in the target grade can be fixed by visual comparison of rates using the current schedule. Two examples follow.
Management wants to provide maximum payable rate.
HPR which is a special rate cannot be used except in one instance, i.e., reassignment for the good of the service. This is the maximum payable rate. This quotient is the employee's relative place in the rate range. Using currently pay tables, find the difference between the maximum and minimum rates for the target grade. Add the product of this multiplication to the minimum rate of the range for the target grade.
