    MATTER   OF: Louis L. Jackson, Sr. - Detail to Higher
                Grade  Position

    DIGEST:  Employee was detailed to higher level position on
             several occasions for varying periods. He is only
             entitled to retroactive temporary promotion for
             each individual detail which lasted for more than
             120 days. Each detail is treated as a separate and
             distinct personnel action.

    This action is taken pursuant to a request for reconsideration
of the denial on October 6, 1978, by our Claims Division of the
portion of aclaim for , retroactive temporary promotion and back-
payjfor the period January 1974 through July 1975, by Mr. Louis
L. Jackson, Sr., an employee of the Department of the Air Force,
San Antonio Air Logistics Center.

    Mr. Jackson was employed at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, as
a WG-10  offset press operator. Mr. Jackson claims that for a
continuous 10-month period during the 18-month period of January
1974 and August 1975, he performed the duties of a WG-12 offset
press operator. However, he has not stated when the 10-month
period began or ended. Moreover, although the claimant has in-
dicated that he maintained a record on his calendar of the dates
he did perform the WG-12 duties, he has not furnished such evi-
dence to our Office. Instead he has provided a statement, certified
by his superviser, that he did perform the duties of a WG-12 offset
press operator for a cumulative total of 10 months during the 18-
month period from January 1974 through July 1975. The claim for
the period of detail was denied because it is the Air Force's position
that no period during the 18 months in question exceeded 120 days.
It reports that Mr. Jackson performed the WG-12 duties for about
3 months from December  1974 until March 1975, and the remainder
of Mr. Jackson's performance at the WG-12 level was on an intermittent
basis usually for one or two days at a time, but seldom more than a
week at a time.

   In our Turner-Caldwell decision, 55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975),
affirmed at 56 id. 427 (1977), we held that an agency's discretionary
authority to retliin an employee on detail to a higher grade position
