HR from a Federal Agency called me and just offered at a Step 1. I told her that I wanted to negotiate for a higher step in the grade. I expected her to ask for an e-mail or something to document my request. But, she told me that she didn't need it and would talk to the hiring manager. Is this normal? I thought she would want something in writing.
She may still ask. I did the same; HR took my request to the manager, who asked for written proof of my pre-government salary, which I provided. They bumped me to a step 2. It didn't really matter as I was taking such a huge pay cut that the step differences were minor, but it was the principle of the thing.
