handle is hein.gao/gaobadhvu0001 and id is 1 raw text is: DECISION FILE: B-196636 MATTER OF: DIGEST: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 E ATE: January 7, 1980 Earl Gums kpay xtended detail Employee claims backpay for extended detail to a higher-graded position and submits state- ments from his coworkers in support of his claim. CSC Bulletin No. 300-40 places burden of documenting detail on employee. Acceptable documentation of a detail consists of official personnel records, statements from claimant's supervisor or other management official certifying that employee performed duties of higher-graded position, or decision under established grievance procedures. Statements from fellow workers do not resolve contradictory record raising doubt as to whether employee was detailed for more than 120 days. This action results from an appeal of our Claims Division Settle- ment Z-2729503, dated December 19, 1978, which denied the claim of Mr. Earl Gums, an employee of the General Services Administration (GSA), for compensation incident to an alleged detail in excess of 120 days. Mr. Gums' claim was denied because he had failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish that he was in fact detailed to a higher-grade position for more than 120 days. In appealing his claim, Mr. Gums suggests that he has provided persuasive evidence in the form of the affidavits of four former coworkers stating that he was detailed from his position as Custodial Laborer WG-2 to the higher-graded position of Custodial Leader WL-2 from November 1972 to April 23, 1973. Civil Service Commission Bulletin No. 300-40, May 25, 1977, provides guidance as to the nature of the documentation required to establish that a detail occurred. In the absence of a SF-52 or other appropriate official form from the employee's Official Personnel Folder the employee may submit his copy of a SF 50 or 52; a written statement from his supervisor during the period claimed, or other management official familiar with his work, certifying that to their personal knowledge, the employee performed the duties of the claimed position; or, a decision under established grievance procedures. In general, the statements of coworkers are not sufficient to establish that a detail occurred. Walter D. Corder, B-195023, August 21, 1979, and William L. DeGraw, B-194369 August 24, 1979.
