YOUR ACTION NEEDED: Human Capital’s mismanagement puts entire salary reset, and your pay, at risk

Union exec board leaders have learned that Office of Human Capital never checked to see if the anonymized data that the joint committees are reviewing is the same as what you submitted (even though the OHC Compensation Team agreed to do quality control on the data before the joint committees started their reviews). And, our diligent NTEU crediting committee members discovered incomplete data and errors in the data for some employees (for example, employees' work history prior to CFPB was missing from the anonymized data being reviewed).

These errors exist through no fault of your own: 90% of bargaining unit employees submitted your data for review and crediting, and you each received a copy of your results via email so you could double check it for accuracy. These errors exist through no fault of the joint labor-management committees, who have been thoroughly reviewing the anonymized data that was collected by Human Capital. The part between those two steps, where Human Capital was supposed to make sure the correct work experience data gets displayed for the committees to review, they have failed to do.

Because management still hasn’t checked the data is accurate, the first time any of us will know if the committees reviewed the right data, will be when you receive the results of their crediting decisions and a copy of the data they looked at, which we negotiated as a requirement in the Compensation Agreement. That’s too late! That step is supposed to be a fail-safe to confirm the accuracy of your results, not a replacement for management doing their jobs in the first place!!

You've done your part, we've done ours, and now management needs to do theirs. The only way forward is for management to audit the data so you can trust in the results, and to agree to back pay, since they are responsible for these major delays in resetting your pay.

We need your help to hold management accountable and get this initiative back on track. If you haven't yet, do both of these actions: 

Human Capital has mismanaged the experience review and salary reset and put my salary, and every employee's at risk. They never checked to see if the anonymized data that the joint committees are reviewing is the same as what employees submitted. As a result, NTEU crediting committee members discovered incomplete data and errors in the data for some employees. Human Capital was supposed to make sure the correct work experience data gets displayed for the committees to review, and they have failed to do.

Many employees have volunteered to help make this effort a success, and Human Capital's lack of urgency in addressing this issue and agreeing to provide back pay to make right the delays they are causing is a serious risk to the agency and to employee compensation and morale.
