  MATTER OF: Gloria J. White - plaim for Retroactive   Temporary
                 Promotion and Backpayj

  DIGEST:   1.  Employee claims retroactive temporary promotion
                and backpay for performing duties of a new higher
                graded position. Claim may not be allowed since
                the position was not classified until March 7,
                1978.  Period from then to June 18, 1978, when
                detail ended, was less than required 120-day period
                needed for retroactive temporary promotion under
                Turner-Caldwell, 55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975).

            2.  Matters relating to allegations of improper position
                classification including delays in processing
                request for position reclassification are for em-
                ploying agency and Office of Personnel Management,
                not GAO since GAO has no authority to settle claims
                on any basis other than agency or OPM classification.
                See cases and regulations cited.

     Ms. Gloria White, a civilian employee of the Dgeartm t of the    ,40,7
Army, requests reconsideration of her claim for retroactive temporary
promotion and Eackpay. The claim was denied by our Claims Division
in Settlement Certificate No. Z-2807582, dated December 19, 1978.

     Ms. White, who during the period in question occupied the
position of a GS-3, clerk-typist, alleges that she was detailed to
an unevaluated statement of duties on August 1, 1977, and con-
tinued to perform such duties through June 18, 1978. During this
period the position represented by the statement of duties was
evaluated and, effective March 7, 1978, the position was established
pursuant to formal classification at the GS-4 level. Under these
circumstances Ms. White contends she is entitled to a temporary
promotion and backpay in accordance with the legal reasoning set
forth in Comptroller General decisions rendered in Matter of Turner-
Caldwell, 55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975), and Matter of Reconsideration of
Turner-Caldwell, 56 Comp. Gen. 427 (1977).

     In the Turner-Caldwell case, we held that employees detailed to
higher grade positions for more than 120 days, without Civil Service
