MATTER OF: William L. DeGraw--Backpay-Extended   Detail


DIGEST:


Whbre an employee submits only statements from
foremen on his shift in support of his claim for
backpay for an extended detail, and the agency,
in denying the claim,.finds that he did not
perform the full range of duties of the position
to which he was allegedly detailed, the employee
has not met his burden of proof and his claim is
disallowed.


     Mr. William L. DeGraw has appealed the determination that
he is not entitled to receive a retroactive temporary promotion
with backpay for an extended detail. For the reasons set forth
below, we sustain the disallowance of his claim by our Claims
Division.

     Mr. William L. DeGraw, a marine mechanic, was employed in
Shop 38 at Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, California. He
alleges that he was detailed to the position of Production Shop
Planner, WD-6 from October 1, 1972, to January 21, 1975, at
which time he was temporarily, then permanently promoted to the
position of Assistant Shop Production Planner.

     Mr. DeGraw has not submitted documentation to support his
claim that he was in fact detailed to the higher grade position.
He has submitted statements from foremen on his shift that he
functioned as Production Shop Planner during the relevant period.
In denying his claim, the Shipyard stated that he had not performed
the full range of duties of the position and that his detail had
not been verified by an agency official. Our Claims Division, in
settlement dated December 20, 1978, disallowed the claim for the
same reasons.

     We have reviewed the materials submitted by Mr. DeGraw and
find them insufficient to support his claim. Under our regula-
tions 4 C.F.R. Parts 31 and 32 (1978), claims are decided on the
written record before us and the burden is on the claimant to
prove all of the elements of his claim. Matter of Nathan Lesowitz,
B-185766, June 15, 1977,and Matter of John R. Figard, B-181700,
January 18, 1978.
