_. THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTO-N, D.C. 20548
FILE: B-194062 DATE: June 0, 1979
MATTER OF: Lillian T. Levandoski - Retroactive temporary
promotion
DIGEST: Employee assigned some duties of abolished higher-
grade position is not entitled to retroactive tem- '
porary promotion since she did not perform higher-
grade duties of classified, established position )
Mr. -Alfred M. Zuck, Assistant Secretary fos dministration
and Management, U.S. Department of Labor, uest our deci-
sion on the claim of Lillian T. Levandoski, who believes she
is entitled to a retroactive temporary promotion for an assign-
ment to a position at a higher grade.
The issue is whether Ms. Levandoski actually performed all
essential duties and responsibilities of an established position
at a grade level higher than she was paid.
Ms. Levandoski was a Supervisory General Clerk, at grade
level GS-5 in the Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, office of the
U.S. Mining Enforcement andSafety Administration, Department
of the Interior (now Department of Labor). She states that
during 1975, her supervisor, the District Manager in the
Wilkes-Barre office, informed her that she would perform the
duties of the position titled Administrative Officer, GS-341-9,
which was then vacant. She claims to have been assigned all
of the duties of that position from then until March 18, 1977.
However, the file contains a memorandum dated June 30,
1976, from the supervisor to Ms. Levandoski and another employee
saying:
* * * I am requesting that each of you assist
in implementing some of the duties of this position
[Administrative Assistant] on a bi-monthly basis.
(Underlining and parentheses added.)
Significantly, the supervisor stated that some rather than all
of the duties of the Administrative Officer position would be
performed by Ms. Levandoski and a fellow employee. The record](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobadhha0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
