Highlights
An employee of the Department of the Army requested review of GAO's settlement of his claim for retroactive adjustment of his salary rate. The employee received a promotion to grade 03-13, step 1 and was subsequently demoted to his former position in grade 12 due to physical condition. The personnel office misinterpreted an agency regulation and placed the employee in step 4 of grade 12, rather than in step 5. The employee claimed that his promotion had occurred contrary to his known wishes, and requested cancellation of the promotion, and retroactive adjustment of his salary.
