Postponing Within Grade Increase
The within-grade-increase (WGI) must be postponed when either of the two following conditions exist:

1.The employee's performance is less than satisfactory and he/she has not been given an "Opportunity to Improve." In this situation, you would promptly contact the Servicing Personnel Office (SPO) for guidance.

2.The employee has been reassigned or demoted because of unacceptable performance and is or will be eligible within 60 days for a WGI. The SPO would notify the supervisor of the requirement to postpone.

If either of the above two conditions exist, the supervisor would notify the employee in writing of the postponement, the reason for it, and that he/she has no more than 90-calendar days to demonstrate fully successful performance. The employee must be given an opportunity to improve performance and a new or revised performance plan that describes in detail what the employee must do to bring his/her rating to the "Results Achieved" level.

If the employee's performance remains unacceptable, appropriate corrective action must be taken.
