9901.334—Eligibility for pay increase associated with a supplement adjustment.
(a)
When a local market supplement is adjusted under § 9901.333, employees to whom the supplement applies with current ratings of record above “unacceptable” (Level 1), and employees who do not have current ratings of record for the most recently completed appraisal period, are eligible to receive any pay increase resulting from that adjustment.
(b)
An employee with a current rating of record of “unacceptable” will not receive a pay increase under this section (i.e., the employee's local market supplement percentage will not be increased). Once such an employee has a new rating of record above “unacceptable,” the employee is entitled to the full amount of any applicable local market supplement effective on the date of the first adjustment in that local market supplement occurring on or after the effective date of the new rating of record as specified in § 9901.411(d), or, if earlier, the effective date of an applicable general salary increase as described in § 9901.323(b).
