                 Duties        /

  DIGEST:   C   arps of Engineers employee was assigned to
            lher   grade duties under a Ltaining'program
            winch led to'progre.;ive promotions to such
            grades.  Employee claims entitlement to retro-
            acilve promotions with backpgy for-performing
            higher grade duties during participation in
            training progra.   Employee's promotions are
            found to be in accord with program's reaula-
            tions and his claim is denied.

      This is a reconsideration of our Claims Division settlement
  of November10, 1977, which disallowed the clai of Mr. Findlay
  McKay, a civilian employee of the Departvent of the Army, Detroit
  District, Corps of Engineers, for a pay idjustment in connection
  with his participation in a training and development program
  given by his employer.

      Mr, McKay participated inthe Corps of Engineers' Training
 and Development Program for Hydroelectric Power Plant Personnel.
 On October 29, 1969, he assumed the position of Power Plant
 Operator-trainee under a formal training program. He received
- progressive promotions, leading to a promotion to Power Plat
Operator  (WO-11) on April 20 1972. Thet-eafter, he was assigned
to  the psition of Power Plant Operator Foreman-Trainee (WO-11),
on  Ser..ember 3, 1972, and was promoted to Power Plant Cperator
Forean   (WC-14), on tugust 5, 1973.

      :Ar. McKay claims that he is entitled to two temporary
 promotions with backpay for two periods under our'Turner-CAldwell
 decisions,1B-183086, 55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975), affirmed 56 Comp.
 Gen. 427 (1977).  H6 contiinds.that as a trainee, during the period
 from October 29, 1969, to April 2, 1972, he was often given full
 responsibility for the duties of a Pcwer Plant Operator. .He also
 contends that he was eligible for promotion to foreman during the
 period from September 3, 1972, to August 5, 1973, and was often
 given full responsibility for such position. Thus, he claims
 entitlement to.a pay adjustment for both periods, under the
 authority of ER 350-2-400 (formally 690-2-513, Change 3, 31 July
 1968).
