handle is hein.gao/gaobadjzs0001 and id is 1 raw text is: /72 DECISION B-202863 -DATE: January 8, 1982 MATTER OF DIGEST: a. Bobby M. Siler- Retroactive Pay Adjustment - Highest Previous Rate Employee who had previous service with Postal Service, was appointed to position of Document Control Clerk with thm Internal Revenue Service (IRS) at GS-3, stop 1. He is entitled to retroactive adjustment to rate of pay within GS-3 equal to rate of GS-.4, step 1. IRS regulations direct appointing officer to set employee's rate of pay based on his previous service and employment qualifications and IRS has stated employee's prior service at Postal Service qualified him for the GS-4 level in his new position. This is in response to a request from Bobby M. Siler for reconsideration of the settlement of August 28, 1980, Z-2822118, by our Claims Group denying his claim for a retroactive adjustment of his rate of pay. Mr. Siler is an employee of the Internal Revenue Service Data Center in Detroit, Michigan. He was ap- pointed on October 1, 1979, to the position of Document Control Clerk, GS-3, step I at an annual salary of $8,366. Mr. Siler had been previously employed by the U. S. Postal Service from July 6, 1974, to July 19, 1976. At the time of his resignation from the Postal Service he was a Dis- tribution Clerk, PH-5, step 3, at an annual salary of $12,459.20. The IRS reports that his Postal Service salary was equivalent to a GS-8, step 2, in the General Schedule. In light of his employment with the Postal Service and his military service, mr. Sil:.r claims that the Internal Revenue Service should have appointed him to the GS-4 level of the Document Control Clerk position or set his pay at a higher rate in the GS-3 grade. We agree with Mr. Siler that his pay should have been set at a higher rate in GS-3 for the following reasons. FILE: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE L NITE2 ITATEB WASHINGTON, D,0, 20E4S
