MATTER OF: Mary Lee Groover - Retroactive Promotio:1   and
               Backpay


DIGEST:


Employee was detailed from GS-4 cosition to
GS-6 position for mre  than 120 anys. She
is entitled to retroactive temporary pro-
motion to GS-5 on 121st day of detail. She
is not entitled to temporary promotion to
35-6 since she did not complete 1 year of
service after constructive promotion to
c5-5.  B-189690, February 16, 1978, mcdified.


     This deciiion is in responne to a appeal by Mary Lee Croover
from Settlement Certificate No. Z-2726012 by which our Claims
Division denied her claim for retroactive promotion and backpay.

     The record shows that As. Groover, a former employee of the
Department of the Air Force, was detailed from the position of
Supply Clerk RSS-863, OS-4 to the posttion of Supervisory Supply
Clerk RSS-910, GS-6, effective July 1, 1974. The detail was not
supposed to last beyond August 29, 1974, but Ms. Groover continuei
to perform the duties of the higher grade position until her
retirement on July 11, 1975. Although she was not officially
detailed until July 1, 1974, Ms. Groover is claiming entitlement
to retroactive promotion and backpay from April 11, 1973. She 'laims
thit she performed the dutier of the GS-6 rosition from that date
due to the absence of her supervisor who kid been informally
detailed to another position.

     Ms. Groover based her claim on Matter of Everett Turner and
David L. Caldwell, 55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975), and Matter of Marie
Grant, 5b Comp. Gen. 785 (1976). In the former decision we held
thaL employees detailed to higher grade positions beyond 120 days
without prior Civil Service Commission approval were entitled to
temporary retroactive prornctrions with backpay. In the latter
decision, we ruled that the Turner-Caldwell decision applied retro-
actively to extended details to high grade positions, subject
only to the time limitation in filing claims imposed by 31 U.S.C.
71a.

     We affirmed our holdings in Turner-Cald' 11 and Marie Grant
in Matter of Rconsideratirn of Everett TurnL . and David L. Caldwell,
56 Comp. Gen. 427 (1977) and statpd:
