Theriault - Highest Previous Rate - Matterof: Prospective Pay Rate File: B-225305 Date: June 24, 1987 DIGEST An employee was transferred from a position with the United States Army in Panama, in grade CZ-6, step 2 ($12,612), to a position with the United States Navy in Florida, in grade GS-6, step 1 ($16,040). The employee asserts his pay should have been set at step 2 of his new grade, contending that Panama Area Personnel Board had set a higher pay scale in 1982 to become fully effective over 21 months beginning in January 1983. While the final part of that pay increase did not become effective until shortly after his transfer in September 1985, he claims credit for it for pay-setting purposes under highest previous rate rule. The claim is denied. Use of the highest previous rate rule applies only to the highest rate of basic pay actually received, not a prospective rate of pay an employee might have received had he remained in his former position. See Banaag S. Novicio, *64 Comp. Gen. 17 (1984). DECISION This decision is in response to a request from the Employ- ment Director, Consolidated Civilian Personnel Office, Jacksonville Naval Air Station. It concerns the entitlement of one of its employees to have his rate of basic pay set at step 2 of grade GS-6, rather than the pay of step 1 of that grade upon transfer in September 1985. We conclude that he was only entitled to the pay of step 1, for the following reasons. BACKGROUND Mr. Marc D. Theriault was an employee of the United States Army in the Republic of Panama, performing the duties of an Emergency Medical Technician, grade CZ-699-6, step 2 ($12,612 per annum). On September 1, 1985, he received a lateral transfer to the Mayport Branch Clinic, Naval o3acae,
