              Force, holding a Communications Control Tech-
              nician, GS-9 position was appointed Base
              Communications Security OfficerZEth-ttEs
              and-responsibilities of which were ne-r-
              cluded in iiis jJE~estript     Since the posi-
              tion of Communications Security Officer was not
              established or classified for civilian personnel
              at the installation where the claimant was
              employed he is not entitled to a retroactive
              temporary promotion with accompanying backpayy
              under our Turner-Caldwell decision, 55 Comp.
              Gen. 539 (1975) affirmed 56 Comp. Gen. 427
                977).  The crucial aspect under that deci-
                on is that, ajkay may be allowed only if the
          G  'employee is detailed for an excessive amount of
  A j         time to a position which is established and

          2.  When a claimant's Dosition is revised to


include duties and responsibilities he has
been performing resulting in an assignment of
a higher grade,the claimant is not entitled
to backpay since a reclassification action
upgrading a position may not be made retro-
actively effective. United States v. Testan,
424 U.S. 392 (1976).


     This action is in response to a letter from Mr. Donald P.
Konrady, a civilian employee of the United States Air Force, which
constitutes an appeal from a settlement issued by our Claims
Division.  On October 12, 1978, Certificate of Settlement
No. Z-2773927, was issued disallowing Mr. Konrady's claim for a
retroactive temporary promotion with backpay on the grounds that
he was not detailed to an established position classified at a
higher grade in excess of 120 days.
