MATTER  OF:   Daisy E. Moore


DATE:  January 15, 1980


    DIGEST:  Selective Service System employee in
             grade GS-4, step 5, voluntarily trans-
             ferred to grade GS-3, step 1, in the
             Forest Service. Pay rate was set in
             accord with agency regulation on
             application of the highest previous
             rate rule which provided exception
             from its application for compelling
             administrative reasons--here funding
             constraints. -

     Ronald D. King, Director, Contract and Appeals
Division, American Federation of Government Employees,
requests reconside  tion of our Claims Division's dis-
allowance of the claim oE-    ---Mae for salary
adjustment and backpay for error in set-t4ig-ba pay rate
.upon transfer to the Forest Service in May 1973.


     Daisy E. Moore, an employee of the Selective Service
System whose position as a GS-4, step 5, purchasing agent,
was being abolished because of the closing of the office
where she worked was interviewed for and accepted a posi-
tion as a GS-3, step 1, clerk-stenographer with the
United States Forest Service in the Department of Agri-,
culture.  At the time of her interview with the Forest
Service, the personnel officer informed Ms. Moore that
due to funding constraints she could only be placed with
the Forest Service at a GS-3, step 1, level. At the
time of her transfer the Forest Service Manual proviced
that:

          It is the policy of the Forest Service
     to pay an employee at the highest previous
     rate permitted by law or regulation, unless
     there are compelling administrative reasons
     to do otherwise.  Whenever the highest pre-
     vious rate is not used, a justification
     statement will be prepared and a copy filed
