submitted 60 years ago by Pub. L. 89-554 to r/title-5-GOVERNMENT-ORGANIZATION-AND-EMPLOYEES · 116 words · no verdicts yet
This section generally requires new appointments to use the minimum rate of the appropriate grade. It permits higher rates in specified circumstances with Office of Personnel Management approval, subject to an exception for the Librarian of Congress.
New appointments must be made at the minimum rate of the appropriate grade. However, under regulations prescribed by the Office of Personnel Management which provide for such considerations as the existing pay or unusually high or unique qualifications of the candidate, or a special need of the Government for his services, the head of an agency may appoint, with the approval of the Office in each specific case, an individual to a position at such a rate above the minimum rate of the appropriate grade as the Office may authorize for this purpose. The approval of the Office in each specific case is not required about an appointment made by the Librarian of Congress.
