Summary: The commenter points out inconsistencies and lack of clarity in the "Out-of-Cycle Within-Broadband Pay Increase" section of the proposal. They request that the document clearly define the specific mechanisms (such as CCAS or reassignment) through which internal within-band pay increases may occur.
The Out-of-Cycle Within-Broadband Pay Increase section appears fractured and contradictory. This section supplements the internal employee movement section in 82 FR 52104, which states that an employee’s pay may be increased through the AcqDemo Contribution-based Compensation and Appraisal System (CCAS). This paragraph adds that within-broadband pay increases may be granted outside the annual CCAS cycle to address mission needs, reassignment, or sustained high levels of contribution. It goes on to state that an increase may be granted when a reassignment results in a significant increase in complexity, responsibility, or authority, or for other compelling reasons. This entire section should clearly state how internal within-band pay increases may happen (i.e., through CCAS, reassignment, on existing position, etc.)
