appropriate, reviews HR’s CAJE results and authorizes the American pay scale grade in an E-mail to HR. HR/OE/HRM and the US headquarters agency’s grade determination is final. HR attaches a copy of the E-mail to the PD and includes the US headquarters agency’s grade authorization in the remarks section of the JF-62A as: “(Insert other agency) authorization of grade received in E-mail dated (insert E-mail date).” PLEASE NOTE: Upon authorization by the regional or functional bureau, HR/OE, or participating US headquarters, HR may use the American pay plan grade for future recruitment actions, unless the supervisor creates a new position by: A. Changing the education requirement of the position; or B. Changing the language requirement of the position; or C. Making significant changes to the duties and responsibilities of the position that the CAJE moves the position to a new series. HR keeps a subject file for “American Pay Plan Grade Authorizations” including the E-mails or memorandums from the appropriate regional or functional bureau, HR/OE/HRM, or other agency US headquarters listing all positions, the American pay scale grade, and date authorized. Step Requesting above step 1 of the American pay grade of the position as CAJE-ed is totally at Mission management discretion and is not an entitlement for any NOR employee. HR may not authorize above Step 1 for any Not Ordinarily Resident employee paid under an American pay plan. Only the US agency headquarters may authorize additional steps. HR may not extend a final offer of employment to an individual until HR receives a response on the step from the appropriate US agency headquarters. A. For Participating Agency positions encumbered by Appointment Eligible Family Members, EFMs, or other NORs under a (participating agency) PSA, PSC, or direct hire appointment: HR contacts the International HR Manager in HR/OE/HRM regarding authorization for hiring NORs above Step 1 according to the headquarters authorized American pay plan grade. B. For State positions encumbered by NORs, there are four ways that additional steps are authorized: --For Appointment Eligible Family Members (AEFMs) hired under a FMA or Temporary Appointment: 1. Highest Previous Rate (HPR), authorized by the FME Coordinator of the appropriate regional or functional bureau.
2. Superior Qualifications Rate (SQR), authorized by HR/OE/HRM through the appropriate regional or functional bureau. --For EFMs that don’t meet the definition of AEFM and all other NORs with US Social Security Numbers hired under a PSA: 3. Prior Federal Rate (FPR), authorized by the International HR Manager in HR/OE/HRM. 4. Advanced In-Hire Rate (AIR), authorized by the International HR Manager in HR/OE/HRM. For additional guidance on HPR, SQR, PFR, and AIR, see the appropriate topics in this policy guidebook.
