handle is hein.gao/gaobadnhb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matterof. Sheryl L. Stanley - Highest Previous Rate Rule - Promotion File: B-230720 Date: November 16, 1988 DIGEST An employee of the Air Force Accounting and Finance Center who transferred from a higher paying position with the Naval Supply Center claims that under the highest previous rate rule she is entitled to higher grade and pay after a subsequent promotion. Since the employee's salary after promotion exceeded her existing rate of pay by two step increases, as required under 5 U.S.C. § 5334(b) (1982), the highest previous rate rule does not apply. DECISION Sheryl L. Stanley, an employee of the Air Force Accounting and Finance Center, Denver, Colorado, appeals the decision of our Claims Group (Z-2863759, Feb. 5, 1988) denying her claim for retroactive step increases and backpay under the highest previous rate rule. We hold that Ms. Stanley was not entitled to the higher compensation levels and affirm the decision of our Claims Group. Ms. Stanley was employed, until August 16, 1980, as a grade GS-5, step 6, payroll clerk at the Naval Supply Center in San Diego, California. She transferred to the Air Force Accounting and Finance Center in Denver because her husband was retiring from the military and moving there. Since her transfer was voluntary, she had no entitlement to retained pay and was hired at grade GS-3, step 10. On February 22, 1981, she was promoted to grade GS-6, step 1, as a military retirement claims examiner and was awarded subsequent promotions to grade GS-7, step 1; grade GS-8, step 1; and grade GS-9, step 2. She contends that under the highest previous rate rule her promotions should have been to grade GS-6, step 3; grade GS-7, step 2; grade GS-8, step 2; and grade GS-9, step 3, respectively. / 7c~~L
