   FILE:     B-195154               DATE:   April 23, 1980

   MATTER   OF:   Irving Zuckerman -Faims  for Retroactive Temporary
                  Promotion w44A--a-pay and Compe  sation for Time

   IGEST:         Away from Permanent  Duty Station
             1. Employee, GS-11 who was granted temporary
                promotion with backpay from February 11, 1974,
                to April 29, 1974, to GS-12 claims additional pay
                on ground that under Turner-Caldwell, 56 Comp.
                Gen. 427 (1976), his detail began June 10, 1973,
                not October 11, 1973. Claim is disallowed since
                entitlement to temporary promotion with backpay
                under Turner-Caldwell does not begin until 121st
                day of detail to establish higher-grade position
                and GS-12 position was not established until
                October 11, 1973.

             2. Employee  claims compensation for non-work
                hours while away from permanent duty station
                on temporary assignment on ground that he was
                unable to return to his home during temporary
                duty assignment. Employee  has no entitlement
                since 5 U. S. C. § 5542(b)(2)(B) (1976) provides
                that time in travel status from official duty station
                of employee is not hours of employment unless
                travel involves work, travel under arduous
                conditions, or results from administratively
                uncontrollable event, and none of those factors
                are present.

    This action concerns the appeal of Mr. Irving Zuckerman, a
Supervisory Consumer Safety Officer employed by the U. S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission, from the disallowance of his claims for
additional backpay and for compensation for time spent on temporary
assignment in other than a work status.

    The first claim, filed with the agency in 1975, requested backpay
for a detail to a higher-graded position than the GS-11 position that
Mr.  Zuckerman occupied from June 10, 1973, until April 29, 1974.
The agency agreed that Mr. Zuckerman was due a temporary promotion
retroactive to February 11, 1974, rather than to June 10, 1973, as
