Employees retain their current grade and step if equivalent; non‑GS employees have base pay converted to the appropriate GS grade and step. If a current federal employee’s personal grade is higher than the advertised grade, the grade is downgraded to the advertised level with pay set at the nearest step not less than the employee’s current annual base rate, not exceeding the maximum step rate for that GS grade.
