FILE: B-194121

MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


  'MIEST.%- I-- 0,F
THE COMPTROLLER GENEPAL
O,F THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON. 0. C. 20548
                                  764


       DATE: October 29, 1979

 - Back-pay for Detail


GS-13 employee detailed to perform duties that
subsequently were classified at GS-14 is not
entitled to retroactive temporary promotion for
period prior to the date on which the higher
grade position was established or for the period
after the position was downgraded to GS-13. Retro-
active temporary promotion with backpay may be
granted only for details to classified higher
grade positions and contention that position was
improperly downgraded to GS-13 is a classification
matter.


     This action is in response to an appeal by Mr.
from our Claims Division's Settlement Certificate of November 15,
1978, by which his claim for retroactive temporary promotion and
backpay was denied.

     The record shows that Mr.       was employed in the position
of Mechanical Engineer, GS-13, Surface Mobility Division, U.S. Army
Tank-Automative Command (TADC) when he was detailed on May 1, 1975,
for not to exceed 60 days, to a special assignment in the Office
of the Director, Research, Development and Engineering Directorate,
TADC. On October 22, 1975, Mr.        was assigned the additional
duty of Acting Chief, Configuration and Data Management Office, TADC.
He performed both sets of duties through November 5, 1975. On
November 6, 1975, a Mechanical Engineer GS-14 position was established
which encompassed those responsibilities. Mr.        performed the
duties of the new position from November 6, 1975, to May 26, 1976.
On May 27, 1976, that position was downgraded to a GS-13 and Mr.
continued to perform the duties of the position until July 1, 1976,
when the functions of the Configuration and Data Management Office,
TADC, were transferred to the newly established U.S. Army Tank-
Automative Research and Development Command (TARADCOM). The position
in TARADCOM corresponding to the Mechanical Engineer position in TACOM
was established at the GS-13 level and Mr.       performed the duties
of that position from July 1, 1976 through September 25, 1976. On
September 26, 1976, he was officially reassigned to the position of
Mechanical Engineer, GS-13 on the TARADCOM special Staff. His job was
abolished and a new Mechanical Engineer 6S-14 position was established
on February 4, 1977. On February 27, 1977, another employee was as-
signed to that position.
