DECISION                     OF   THE    UNITED      STATES

FILE:  B-193912                    DATE:   August 24, 1979

MATTER OF: John F. Suitum - Backpay   - Extended Detail


DIGEST:  Where an employee presents no evidence in support of
          an allegedly extended detail to a higher grade position
          other than his own uncorroborated statements, he has
          not established that a detail occurred and is not
          entitled to backpay.


       Mr. John F. Su tum has appealed the disallowance of his claim
  that he is entitled to p retroactive temporary promotion with
  backpay for &m extended detai to a higher grade position. For
  the reasons set out below, the disallowance of the claim by our
  Claims Division is sustained.

       Mr. Suitum was employed as an Electronics Mechanic grade WG-9,
  at McClellan Air Force Base, California. He alleges that from
  June 1973 through December 29, 1976, he was assigned to and
  performed the same duties as other employees, who held positions at
  the grade WG-11, 12 and 13 levels.) In his initial claim he admitted
  that there was probably no record of his assignment, but provided
  a list of employees and supervisors with whom he worked during the
  period of his claim.

       is  agency found no official record documenting the alleged
  assignment. ) When two of the three employees named by Mr. Suitum
  as his first/ level supervisors during the period in question
  were interviewed in January 1978, they both stated that, to the
  best of their knowledge, Mr. Suitum performed only tasks that
  were withih his job description, under the direction of higher
  grade employees. The third employee was  no longer available
  for comment.

       The claim was denied by the Air Force)on the ground that
  there was no evidence that he was detailed to a higher graded
  position, as required by our decisions. Our Claims Division,
  in settlement dated October 25, 1978, disallowed Mr. Suitum's
  claim for essentially the same reason.
