C. 20548 FILE: B-193551 DATE: August 13, 1979 MATTER OF: Louis L. Jackson, Sr. - Detail to Higher Grade Position DIGEST: Employee was detailed to higher level position on several occasions for varying periods. He is only entitled to retroactive temporary promotion for each individual detail which lasted for more than 120 days. Each detail is treated as a separate and distinct personnel action. This action is taken pursuant to a request for reconsideration of the denial on October 6, 1978, by our Claims Division of the portion of aclaim for , retroactive temporary promotion and back- payjfor the period January 1974 through July 1975, by Mr. Louis L. Jackson, Sr., an employee of the Department of the Air Force, San Antonio Air Logistics Center. Mr. Jackson was employed at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, as a WG-10 offset press operator. Mr. Jackson claims that for a continuous 10-month period during the 18-month period of January 1974 and August 1975, he performed the duties of a WG-12 offset press operator. However, he has not stated when the 10-month period began or ended. Moreover, although the claimant has in- dicated that he maintained a record on his calendar of the dates he did perform the WG-12 duties, he has not furnished such evi- dence to our Office. Instead he has provided a statement, certified by his superviser, that he did perform the duties of a WG-12 offset press operator for a cumulative total of 10 months during the 18- month period from January 1974 through July 1975. The claim for the period of detail was denied because it is the Air Force's position that no period during the 18 months in question exceeded 120 days. It reports that Mr. Jackson performed the WG-12 duties for about 3 months from December 1974 until March 1975, and the remainder of Mr. Jackson's performance at the WG-12 level was on an intermittent basis usually for one or two days at a time, but seldom more than a week at a time. In our Turner-Caldwell decision, 55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975), affirmed at 56 id. 427 (1977), we held that an agency's discretionary authority to retliin an employee on detail to a higher grade position
