How do I determine the drill pay for a new LT who has prior service?

Good morning, would appreciate any input in regards to drill pay for a new LT.
If you have prior enlisted service of 1 year as active duty and 5 years in the reserves, so a total of 6 years of service, would you still get paid as a O1 with 0 years of service?
To my understanding, it is technically not enough for O1-E(1460 retirement points or 4 years of active duty.
Or would finance calculate it as O1 but with 6 years of service? It'd be a shame not to be recognized for the 6 years.
Thanks again!

It's going to be O1 with 6yrs unless the LT had been mobilized and deployed enough to add up to that 4yr time. Happened to me when I commissioned at 8yrs in.

He get's paid as an O1 with 6 years TIS, which will max him/her out on the standard pay chart. I was a Captain before I ever hit a pay grade that I could get a TIS raise. If the Soldier has 6 years in, he will max out on every rank when he promotes until Major. There is a point rule that states if they have 1460 total retirement points, they also qualify for O1-E. If he did a lot of schools or extra duty, with the points for his active year, maybe, but that would be a stretch.
