MATTER OF: Lawrence D. Sutton - Retroactive Temporary Promotion


DIGEST:




   ,)


Claimant is not entitled to retroactive.temporary
promotion.  Civilian Personnel Officer, who supervised
claimant, submitted written statement that he, not
claimant, supervised Management Employee Relations
Branch of personnel office. Although claimant sub-
mitted written statements of other branch chiefs
indicating that they regarded claimant as branch
chief, claimant has not sustained his burden to
prove that he was in fact detailed to and performed
the full range of the duties of the higher grade
position.


     Mr. Lawrence D. Sutton appeals the disallowance of his fcaim for
4 retroactive temporary promotion with backpa because of a detail to
a higher level position. Our Claims Division disallowed the claim by
Settlement Certificate No. Z-2705374, Mpreh-15, 1979.

     The issue is whether there is proof showing thafE Mr. Sutton,
while an employee of the Army, was actually detailed to and performed
the essential duties of an established position at a higher-grade
level than he was paid.

     Mr. Sutton says that he was detailed to the duties of Chief,
Management Employee Relations Branch, Civilian Personnel Office,  2
Fort Lewis, Washington, for-the period from July 1, 197 ,Tii~ough
August. 16, 1975, except for the period from March 16, to June 22,
1975, when he states he served under a temporary promotion. This
higher-grade position was classified as Supervisory Labor Management
Relations Specialist, Occupational Code GS-0230, at grade level
GS-13.


     Based on a statement written by Mr. Sutton's former supervisor,
Mr. Glen W. Berry, who had been the Civilian Personnel Officer at
Fort Lewis  during the portion of the claim period ending December 3
1974, te  Ar-iy as well as our Claims Division denied Mr. Sutton's
claim for a retroactive temporary promotion. According to his
statement, Mr. Oscar P. Sciaqua, who had been the incumbent of the
