When the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) authorizes deletions and modifications to pay table, you can address these changes by processing a Mass Salary Pay Table Change Identifier mass action.
See: Processing a Pay Table Change Action
Note: For pay adjustments based on special rate table changes, you process a standard or percent pay adjustment mass action. See: Processing a Mass Standard Pay Adjustment
The Pay Table Change mass action generates RPAs that document the updates to the records, including:
NOAC 800 Change in Data Element action if the PRD changed but not the basic pay values
NOAC 894 Pay Adjustment if the basic pay values changed
The RPA includes the appropriate Legal Authorities and Remarks, but you can modify this information prior to updating the mass action.
On the effective date, the application updates the pay table, pay rate determinant, and the salary fields in the applicable position and employee records:
Position's US Federal Valid Grade extra information
Person's Retained Grade extra information, where applicable
Locality or SR Supplement element with the calculated locality or special supplement amounts
The US Federal Process Log records the results of the mass action. The log lists:
Positions where a default pay table identifier replaces the special rate table identifier that no longer applies
Person records affected by the pay table change and the RPA generated as a result of the mass action
Positions and person records that failed and includes an error message explaining the problem
