OPM decision numbers. An OPM decision number identifies decisions. The 12-character decision number is made up of F (for FLSA claim), 4 digits for the occupational series of the position, 2 digits for the grade of the position, and 2 digits for the number of the decision for that particular series and grade.

For example, the decision number F-0802-11-02 indicates that it is an FLSA claim decision for a position in the 0802 Engineering Technician occupational series at the grade 11 level and is the second decision for a claimant who was a GS-802-11 Engineering Technician.
