   MATTER   OF:Evelyn M.  Taylor - Claim for Retroactive
                Temporary  Promotion and Backpay

   DIGEST:  Employee  was detailed from Clerk-Typist GS-4
             to Training Coordinator GS-7 for more than 120 days.
             She is not entitled to retroactive temporary promotion
             to the GS-7 position with backpay because she did not
             meet the time-in-grade or other requirements for
             that position. Neither is she entitled to retroactive
             temporary promotion to Training Coordinator GS-5
             with backpay since she did not satisfy the minimum
             civil service requirements for specialized experience
             for that position.

    Evelyn M. Taylor appeals our Claims Division settlement dated
May  22, 1977, denying her backpay claim based on Turner-Caldwell,
55 Comp.  Gen. 539 (1975), affirmed at 56 id. 427 (1977). That
decision holds that if an employee is detailed to a position classified
in a higher grade for a period in excess of 120 days without Civil
Service Commission (CSC) approval, he or she is entitled to a
retroactive temporary promotion and backpay for such period
provided all qualifications and other requirements for such a
promotion are met. See paragraph 8C, CSC Bulletin 300-40,
May  22, 1977.

   While employed by the Department of the Army as a Clerk-
Typist GS-322-4, Ms. Taylor was informally detailed from
May  8, 1977, to June 18, 1978, to a position classified as Training
Coordinator GS-301-7. The Army  denied Ms. Taylor's claim
for retroactive temporary promotion to the grade GS-7 position
and backpay because she did not satisfy the Whitten Amendment
requirement of one year in grade GS-6. Ms. Taylor then filed
a claim with our Claims Division. This was returned to the Army
for possible settlement in accordance with our decisions which
implement Turner-Caldwell and hold that an employee who has
been detailed for more than 120 days to a position classified two
or more grades above his or her assigned grade is entitled to
a retroactive temporary promotion to the highest intervening
grade for which he or she met the Whitten Amendment and other
applicable requirements. See Sam Friedman, Edwin C. Baker,
and Russell A. Holmes, Jr., B-189690, February 16, 1978, and
Mary  Lee Groover, B-190174, April 21, 1978.
