MATTER OF: Glen D. Miller


DIGEST:


An employee of the Depart ent of the Army at Fort
Ritchie, Maryland,claimi Xretroactive  temporary
promotion and backpay for performing the duties
of Arts and Crafts Drector from November 1975
until October 1977. The Turner-Caldwell decisions,
55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975) and 56 Comp. Gen. 427 (1977),
on which the claim is based, held that an employee
must satisfy the requirements for retroactive
temporary promotion before it can be granted.
Record shows this employee did not meet education
or experience requirement for promotion to position
to which he was detailed. Claim is denied.  See
B-187032, November 30, 1977.


     By letter dated May 22, 1979, Mr. Glen D. Miller, through his
authorized representative, appealed Certificate of Settlement
No. 2786531, issued April 17, 1979, which denied his claim for a
retroactive temporary promotion and backpay based on our decision
56 Comp. Gen. 427 (1977). Mr. Miller is an employee of the Department
of the Army whose station is Fort Ritchie, Maryland.

     The record shows that Mr. Miller, a GS-7 Recreation Specialist,
was assigned the duties of Arts and Crafts Director, a GS-9 position,
from January 1975 until October 18, 1977. On November 7, 1977, he
filed a claim for a retroactive temporary promotion from grade GS-7 to
GS-9 and backpay for that period. As stated earlier, his claim was
denied by our Claims Division on April 17, 1979. This decision results
from his appeal of the action of the Claims Division.

     In our Turner-Caldwell decisions, 55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975) and
56 Comp. Gen. 427 (1977), on which Mr. Miller bases his claim, we
held that an employee had to satisfy the requirements for a retroactive
temporary promotion before the remedial action authorized by those
decisions could be granted. As examples of those requirements we
mentioned the time-in-grade requirements of the Whitten Amendment,
5 U.S.C. 3101 note, and the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 3324 governing
appointments to supergrade positions.
