                          THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
 DECISION      .          OF  THE   UNITED STATES
                S         WASHINGTON. 0.C. 2054



 FILE: B-193723                 DATE: September 21, 1979

 MATTER   OF:  Loretta T. Smith - Claim for retroactive
               promotion and backpay

 DIGEST:1.  Employee claims retroactive temporary
            promotion and accompanying backpay
            under Turner-Caldwell decision incident
            to several details to regional offices.
            Where none of the details was in excess
            of 120 days, the employee is not entitled
            to a retroactive promotion even if details
            were to higher grade positions. Each detail
            is a separate personnel action and for the
            purpose of applying Turner-Caldwell decision
            each detail must have exceeded 120 days.

         2. Employee claims work she performed constituted
            detail to a higher grade position and claims
            retroactive temporary promotion and backpay
            under decision in Turner-Caldwell. Where
            the employee has not provided evidence to
            show that she was assigned or detailed to a
            higher grade position, there is no basis to
            allow a retroactive temporary promotion under
            Turner-Caldwell.

         3. Employee who was promoted to position of
            Hearings and Appeals Analyst, GS-13, on
            November 23, 1975, requests that promotion
            be made retroactive to February 1, 1975.
            Where the record does not show any adminis-
            trative policy or regulation which would
            have required that she be promoted at a
            specified time, there is no basis for a
            retroactive promotion.

     Ms. Loretta T. Smith, an employee of the Departmern
of Health, Education, and Welfare, S.oriaLSecurity
Administration, has appealed from a settlement issued by
our Claims Division on October 12, 1978, which disallowed
her claim for a retroactive promotion and accompanying
backpay for the period from February 1, 1975, through
November 22, 1975. The Claims Division's disallowance is
sustained as the record neither establishes that the
