Memo for File - William P. Burke

Subject: Longevity Step Increase

In reviewing this file under the Security Reinvestigation program, it was noted that the 2nd LSI (at GS-15) was proposed to be made effective on 13 Sept 60, but that the effective date had been changed by Payroll to show 15 Oct 60. Reason for the change is presumed to be due to LWOP. Form 50 shows 225 hours of LWOP during the waiting period. If those figures are correct, then there was no "excess" LWOP, since the law provides that a maximum of 240 hours of LWOP is creditable toward completion of the waiting period in the case of LSI's.

I called this case to the attention of Joe Tracy, C/Payroll, who will review LWOP records and, if required, issue a memorandum to correct the effective date of the last LSI.
