William C, Dulin


Former GC-13 employee of the Government
Printing Office, who alleges he was
detailed to a GG-14 staff assistant
position in the Office of the Public
Pfinter, appeals denial by our Claims
Group of claim for rotroactwe promotion
and backpay under our Turner-Caldwell
deciotions. However, th e-Cort of claims
ruled in Wilson v, United States, Ct. Cl,
No* 324-81C, OderOctober 23, 1981,
that employees have no entitlement under
statute or the Federal Personnel Manual
to temporory promotions for overlong
details, Since we have recently ruled

decisions, 55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975), sustaind in 56 Comp.
