DIGEST:

David J. Banyas{-Retractive   Temporary
Promotion 'ed  a


Employee claims retroactive temporary
promotion and backpay for performing
the duties of an aircraft mechanic
foreman prior to his promotion to
that position. Foreman position was
not established until time of claimant's
permanent promotion to it. Since
an employee is entitled only to the
salary of his appointed position,
rbgardless of the duties performed,
the claim is denied. 52 Comp. Gen. 920
(1973).


     By a letter dated November 16, 1979, Mr. David J.
Banyas appealed our Claims Division's Settlement issued
October 11, 1979, which denied his claim for a retro-

to grade WS-7 between July 9, 1972, and July 1, 1978.

WG-8852-12. This position had been established as a
small shop chief in the Repair and Reclamation Shop,
927th Tactical Airlift Wing, Selfridge ANG Base,.  DLCoVys
Michigan. Mr. Banyas directed the activities of
two subordinate employees who were Aircraft Mechanics,
WG-8852-10. On July 9, 1972, a third employee came
under his supervision. A fourth employee was added
to the shop in 1977. Apparently Mr. Banyas attempted
to have his position upgraded to foreman beginning in
1972. However, a foreman position, Aircraft Mechanic
Foreman, WS-8852-07, was not established in the Repair
and Reclamation Shop until May 9, 197,8. Mr. Banyas
competed for and was selected for the foreman position.
He was promoted effective July 2, 1978. Subsequently,
