Drummond - Highest Previous Pay Rate File: B-229165 Date: August 8, 1988 DIGEST A former United States Small Business Administration employee seeks a retroactive salary adjustment to her highest previous rate of pay. Whether to authorize a salary adjustment based on highest previous rate is discretionary with the agency. The employee is not entitled to the salary adjustment, in the absence of a showing that the agency abused its discretion in not authorizing the salary adjustment. DECISION Ms. Jean Drummond sought a retroactive salary adjustment from her former employer, the United States Small Business Administration (SBA). Because she had served in various government positions at pay grades higher than her grade at the SBA, she contends that she was entitled to the benefit of the highest rate of pay rule established under 5 U.S.C. S 5334(a) (1982) and 5 C.F.R. S 531.203(c) and (d) (1981). The SBA declined to make the adjustment, and our Claims Group denied her claim.l/ On appeal we affirm our Claims Group's settlement. Facts The SBA employed Ms. Drummond as a GS-03, step 1, clerk-typist from November 1983 to February 1984 in the SBA's disaster assistance program. Ms. Drummond previously had been a GS-07 with the United States Postal Service and a GS-05 with the United States Air Force. Ms. Drummond contends that the SBA offered her a position as a GS-05, but withdrew the offer in the mistaken belief that her time in that grade had not been consistent or not in sequence. 1/ Claims Group Settlement number Z-2864407-089, May 1, 1987.
