Highlights
A Veterans Administration (VA) employee appealed the disallowance of his request for retroactive adjustment of pay rate on the grounds that he was payed at a higher rate at another agency. Established VA policy provides for official discretion on the application of the "highest previous rate rule;" therefore, the disallowance was sustained.
