csc has such authority to stave
of salary cuts in down-grading
or whether only Congress can
grant such authority through
legislation.
The commissions regulations
issued while Congress was con-
sidering legislation to give per-
manent protection against salary
cuts to employees whose jobs are
down graded--said that agencies
could continue to pay the salaries
of down-graded employees for at
least 26 weeks. II an employe
had more than. three years serv-
ice. this protection against salary
cuts could be extended for several
years, depending on an employees
length of service.
The idea behind the program
is that this interim period OF
protection could be used by the
agency to once again find the
employe a Job at his former
grade and thus prevent salary
cut from occurring.
However, even while the Con-
troller General is studying the
legality Of the program, 1t ap-
pears that most agencies aren't
bothering to protect employees
from salary cuts. Most have
ignored the commissions regu-
Ilations which are only permits
siye and not mandatory on tht
agencies.
