Campbell - Position Classification - DIGEST: Retroactive Effect Former employee seeks retroactive promotion with backpay for period from June 6, 1971, to August 30, 1974, as an employee of the Department of the Army. He alleges his position was improperly classified. Statutory authority to establish appropriate classification standards and to allocate positions subject to the General Schedule rests with the agency concerned and the Civil Service Commission. There- fore, GAO has no authority to classify positions or to settle claims on any basis other than the agency or CSC classification. This action constitutes a review of the disallowance of a claim by Mr. Willi- .A. Campll a c om ew1,Ipe Of then Department of the Army, for retroactive promotion with salary differential between grades GS-15.and GS-16 from June 6, 1971, to August 30, 1974. Mr. Campbell's claim was disallowed on December 12, 1974, by Settlement Certificate issued by our Transportation and Claims Division on the primary ground that Federal Government employees are entitled only to the salaries of the position to which they are appointed regardless of the duties they actually perform, citing Coleman v. United States, 100 Ct. Cl. 41 (1943) and Amundson v. United States, 128 id. 80 (1954). Mr. Campbell states that the position to which he was appointed was, prior to his appointment thereto, classified as a GS-16. However, when his predecessor's position became vacant, the job description was changed and the position was reclassified as a GS-15. Mr. Campbell was appointed to the GS-15 position. He alleges that the job description was improper, that he performed the same duties as his predecessor, and that he is entitled to the pay of a GS-16. Mr. Campbell, in effect, asks that our Office determine the proper classification grade of his position.
