DIGEST:

Ralph Levine 14vc       e Temporary
Promotion


Army employee appeals from action of Claims
Division which denied his claim for 4 retro-
active temporary promotions and backpay
between July 1974 and August 1977. These
4 periods intervene between periods he was
not temporarily promoted to higher-grade
GS-12 position.  Indications that temporary
promotions were to provide continuity of
operations and to correct inequities do
not refute Army report stating employee's
duties reverted to that of his GS-ll
position at end of each temporary pro-
motion or constitute proof of detail
under Turner-Caldwell decisions.


     By a letter dated October 5, 1979, Mr. Ralph Levine
appealed Certificate of Settlement No. Z-2815506, issued
September 18, 1979, which denied his claims for 4 retro-
active temporary promotions and backpay based on our
Turner-Caldwell decisions, 55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975) and
56 Comp. Gen. 427 (1977). Mr. Levine is an employee of
the Department of the Army at the U.S. Army Armament
Research and Development Command, Dover, New Jersey.

     Mr. Levine is seeking backpay for promotion from
grade GS-ll to GS-12 for 4 periods between November 10,
1974, and August 20, 1977. The record shows that he
was temporarily promoted to grade GS-12 for the following
periods: March 2 to June 29, 1975; May 30 to August 27,
1976; and October 31, 1976, to May 18, 1977. Mr. Levine
alleges that he was detailed to a GS-12 position at all
times from November 10, 1974 until he was permanently
promoted to GS-12 on August 21, 1977. His claim was denied
by our Claims Division (now Claims Group, FGMSD) on
September 18, 1979, on the basis of an administrative
report from the Department of the Army which indicated
that Mr. Levine performed the duties of his appointed
GS-ll position except during his temporary promotions
and because Mr. Levine failed to provide sufficient
