FLE:  B-193457     6e              DATE:   August 24, 1979

MATTER OF:      Lee B. Torbert -ackpay  for Extended Detail /


DIGEST:


Although some of the duties of the position to which
a GS-9 employee claims he was detailed were previously
performed by a GS-12 employee and some were subsequently
performed by a GS-13, he may not receive backpay for
an extended detail because the position to which he
was detailed is not shown to have been officially
established and classified as a higher grade position
during the period covered by his claim.


  .  Mr. Lee Tolbert has appealed the determination that he is
not entitled to a retroactive temporary promotion with backpay
for an extended detail to a higher-graded position. For the
reasons set forth below, the disallowance of the claim is
sustained.

     By memorandum of July 17, 1972, Mr. Tolbert, an employee of
the Department of housing and Urban Development (HUD), employed -Da6
in Newark, New Jersey,was advised that:

           Until further notice, you are hereby detailed to
        act as Special Underwriting Assistant to the Assistant
        Director, S.F.O.B.

Mr. Tolbert continued to perform those duties until September 5,
1973.  He was officially appointed to a position at the grade
GS-9 level until May 27, 1973, and at the grade GS-11 level for
the remainder of the period involved. He alleges that the
Newark Office where he worked did not have a Deputy Assistant
Director until January 1973, when that position was filled at
the grade GS-13 level. Mr. Tolbert alleges that the duties he
performed were the same as those performed by the Deputy Assistant
Director, but does not state whether that position existed as a
classified position at the grade GS-13 level prior to being
filled in January 1973. Finally,. a memorandum dated June 11,
1973, describing the duties performed by Mr. Tolbert during his
detail, states that the detail was necessitated by the reassignment
of Appraiser Matthew Kolek to Field Supervisor, a GS-12.
