MATTER   OF: Vernon P.   umphries - Retroactive
             Temporary  Promotion and Backpa


Former  GS-9 employee of Bureau of
Indian Affairs, Department of Interior,
claims retroactive temporary promotions
and backpay for work allegedly performed
at GS-11 and GS-12 grade levels. In the
absence of sufficient documentation estab-
lishing that employee was officially detailed
to perform duties of the higher-grade
positions and that he performed such
duties during specific periods of time,
claim may not be allowed.


   Mr.  Vernon P. Humphries, a former employee of the Bureau
of Indian Affairs, United States Department of the Interior, has
appealed the settlement certificate (Z-2714364) dated March 16,
1979, issued by our Claims Division, which denied Mr. Humphries'
claim for retroactive temporary promotion and backpay. The Claims
Division concluded that the claimant had failed to provide sufficient
evidence to show that he was, in fact, detailed to a higher-grade
position and that he merely performed some of the duties of a higher-
grade position. Upon review of the evidence of record, the denial
of a retroactive temporary promotion and backpay is sustained.

    The facts and circumstances involved in the claim, briefly
stated, are as follows: Mr. Humphries was employed by the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (EIA) in September 1966. In April
1976, as a result of a reduction in force, his services with the
BIA were terminated. The claimant states that he was hired
at the GS-9 grade level but during the period of his employment
with the BIA, he was assigned to perform work at the GS-11 and
GS-12 grade levels.

  . In suport of his claim, Mr. Humphries has submitted written
statements by a former supervisor and three former co-workers.
In-tristatemettda ed January 2, 1975, Mr. William F. McNamara,
states that from 1966 through August 1974, he was Mr. Humphries'
