   DECISION                  OF   THE   UNITED STATES

   MATTER   OF:  Cherrold W. Seabrook -1 ompensation for
                 period of improper appointmen2

  DJGEST:     Civil Service Commission (CSC) directed cancel-
             lation of employee's temporary appointment at
             GS-6 level because of violation of CSC requirements.
             Since employee had basic qualification for appoint-
             ment  and appointment was not contrary to law it
             was voidable only and corrective action as ordered
             by  CSC is prospective only. 'Employee is entitled
             to all benefits of position to which appointed until
             separated or transferred.


    This action involves a request for a decision by (Mr. Preston
David, Executive Di ector, Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission  (EEOC) regarding the entitlement to compensation of
an employee, Ms. C  errold Williams Seabrook, during a period of
employment under an improper appointment.

   As  a result of a personnel management evaluation conducted in
March 1976, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) found that viola-
tions of Civil Service restrictions had occurred in the temporary
appointment of Ms. Seabrook to the position of Secretary (Typing),
GS-318-6, and the CSC ordered the appointment terminated. The
period of the improper appointment was August 4, 1974, to May 8,
1976. Ms. Seabrook was converted to reinstatement under merit
staffing to the position of Equal Employment Technician, GS-301-5,
on May 9, 1976. Additionally, it is noted that Ms. Seabrook was
initially appointed in EEOC without a break in service from the
Office of Minority Business Enterprise (OMBE), where she was
serving under a career appointment as a Clerk-Stenographer,
GS-312-5.

   By virtue of the temporary status of the employee with EEOC
during the period involved, decision is requested as to whether
the employee is entitled to pay at the GS-6/2 level for the time
worked under the improper appointment. EEOC advises that
Ms. Seabrook performed the duties of the GS-6 position during the
period involved in a highly satisfactory manner and had no know-
ledge of any improprieties in her appointment.
