[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is legal.  What many people don't realize is that on the federal government, they convert your annual salary into an hour salary for calculating your pay check each period.  They do this to account for the extra day that happens during leap year.  I learned this the first time I had to calculate a back pay award for someone.  So the OP would be paid her current salary but less of it based on her hours actually worked.  What I think will happen, however, if her current salary is above the top end of the scale for her new grade, is that she will not be receiving full annual adjustments because she is already above the top of the pay scale.  You can check this on the OPM web site, just search for information on pay retention.  [/quote]

I read about this shortly after I started when I noticed my gross pay x 26 did not equal my annual salary.  Part of it is the leap year and part of it is that certain years have more weekend days than others but the system is set up to average all of the hours during the cycle of the calender (I think it's like 30 something years but I forget) and you're paid based on an average year length of 2087 hours so in some years you make a little more and in some years you make a little less.  It's an accurate system but...then again...you have to wonder who they hire to come up with this stuff.[/quote]
