 FILE:     -                       DATE:  JUL  27 1976

 MATTER OF:                                                           0
                 Elizabeth McLaughlin - Claim for retroactive
 DIGEST:         promotion and backpay
              1. Employee,  classified as grade GS-8,
                 alleges that she performed grade GS-9
                 duties and was wrongfully denied
                 promotion for 7 years. Claim for
                 retroactive pay is denied since
                 employees are entitled only to salary
                 of position they hold regardless of the
                 duties they perform.

              2, Employee,  classified as grade GS-9,
                 alleges she was wrongfully denied
                 promotion to grade GS-10 because of
                 sex discrimination. Claim for retro-
                 active pay is denied since there has
                 been no determination that employee
                 suffered unwarranted or unjustified
                 personnel action under Back Pay Act
                 because of discrimination. Employee
                 apparently failed to file formal com-
                 plaint of discrimination with employ-
                 ing agency or Civil Service.

    This action is a request for reconsideration of the denial on
October 8, 1975, by our Transportation and Claims Division (now
Claims Division) of the claim of Ms. Elizabeth H. McLaughlin for
backpay believed due as an employee of the Veterans Administration
(VA).

    Briefly stated, the facts are that Ms. McLaughlin was promoted
to grade GS-9 on October 13, 1074, as a result of a reclassification
of her position as a physical therapist from grade G3-8. It is now
her contention that she was discriminated against in the promotion of
another therapist who was hired in 1969 at the grade GS-9 level, and
is entitled to have her promotion retroactively effective to the date of
the original employment of the additional physical therapist and to be
retroactively promoted to grade GS-10, effective the date of the other
therapist's promotion to grade GS-9. - Her claim was denied on the
grounds that the granting of promotions is a discretionary matter
