Job description DIGEST: Although employee of the U.S. Coast Guard accepted an appointment to grade GS-9, when he entered on duty -agmcy 'gave-,him position description for grade GS-f1 position and advised him that he was to perform those duties. Agency intended to fill position at GS-9 level to provide training and job familiarization and employee was promoted to a GS-11 after 1 year. During initial year agency stated that he did not perform at GS-11 level. Appointment at GS-9 was not an unjustified or unwarranted personnel action; therefore, backpay claim for retroactive adjustment of salary is denied. This matter concerns an appeal from a settlement by our Transportation and Claims Division which denied the claim of Adolf E. Fullgrabe, a civilian employee of the United States Coast Guard in Cleveland, Ohio, for retroactive salary adjustment. Mr. Fullgrabe stated that while he received an appointment to a grade GS-9 position, he qualified for, and was instructed to perform the duties of a grade GS-11 position. In summary, the record shows that in April 1969 the Coast Guard requested the Civil Service Commission to furnish a $certificate of eligibles for a grade GS-9 position, Electrical Engineer. The claimant's rating and certification was requested if within reach of the register. In May 1969 the claimant was certified as eligible for said position; he was selected and appointed effective June 9, 1969. The position was identified as PD No.9-6661A and was at the grade GS-9 level. Two days after entering on duty, a supervisory official gave the claimant Position Description No. 9-6661A-2 and informed him that it was the official written statement of duties he was to perform in his job. This description was identified as one for a GS-11 position, and claimant contends that he performed the duties. specified in the written description. The Coast Guard has advised us that its intent was to fill the subject position at the GS-9 level in order to provide the claimant with a period, under close supervision, of familiarization and training with the duties and responsibilities of the position.
