    FRANK R. LAVENDER, JR. VS. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
    (CC-91-121)
    Claimant appeared in person.
    John E. Shank, Deputy Attorney General, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM:

This claim was submitted for decision based upon the allegations in the Notice of Claim and the respondent’s Answer.

Claimant seeks $1,876.00 for back wages from the respondent. Claimant served as Acting Logistics Officer with the respondent, under a special Order, but was not compensated for the additional responsibilities commensurate with rank. The data submitted for the wage disparity was not processed for payment in the proper fiscal year; therefore, the claimant has not been paid. The respondent admits the validity and amount of the claim and states that there were sufficient funds expired in the appropriate fiscal year with which the claim could have been paid.

In view of the foregoing, the Court makes an award in the amount of $1,876.00.

Award of $1,876.00.
