MATTER


DIGEST:


DATE:   1nbruar 16, 1978


OF:  Sam Friedman, Edwin C. Baker, and
     Russell A. Holmes, Jr. - Claims for
     Backpay
1.  Employees claim entitlement to retro-
    active temporary promotions and back-
    pay for periods they were detailed to
    and pcrformed duties of higher level
    positions.  Claims were received in
    GAO on July 18, 1977. Under 31 U.S.C.
    71a (Supp. V, 1975), claims against
    Government cre barred unless received
    in GAO within 6 years from date claims
    accrued.  For purposes of 31 U.S.C. 71a,
    filing of claim with.employing agency
    does not constitute filing with GAO.
    Therefore, we may not consider an-y
    element of claims accruing before July 18,
    1971.

2.  Riployee Holmes claimi entitlement to
    retroactive temporary promoti'o6n with
    backpay under IJAO Turner-Caldwell
    decision, 55 Comp. Gen. 539, for period
    he was detailed from grade GS-13 position
    to grade GS-15position (June 1971 -
    May f973). Employee may not be given
    retroactivetempoiary promotion to grade
    08-15 position because he did not satisfy
    Whitten Amendmvnt (5 U.S.C. 3101 note)
    time-in-grade requirements., However,
    employee is entitled to a retroactive
    temporary promotion to the highest grade
    to twhich he could have been promoted under
    Whitten Amendment and other applicable
    requirements which in Holmes' case is
    grade 03-14.
