195477          . ATE: December 10, 1980

OF:  Clyde C.  endrick -Retroactive Promotion
     and Back ay

 Employee's claim for backpay from
 September 20, 1973, to November 6, 1978,
 when he was promoted from WG-5 to WG-8,
 based on contention that WG-5 position
 was misclassified during period and pro-
 motion was reclassification of WG-5 posi-
 tion, cannot be allowed.  There is no
 right to backpay for periods of claimed
 wrongful classification and, except for
 successful appeals of downgradings, clas-
 sification actions cannot be made retro-
 active.  Neither can claim be allowed on
 theory that employee was detailed to
 position classified in higher grade in
 absence of conclusive evidence that he
 performed full range of duties of WG-8
 position during entire period claimed.


     Mr. Clyde C. Kendrick, an employee of the Depart-
ment of the Navy in the Commissary Store of the Naval
Air Station at Pensacola, Florida, seeks further con-
sideration of his claim for a retroactive promotion
and backpay based on the alleged wrongful classifica-
tion of his position.  For the reasons set forth sub-
sequently his claim cannot be allowed.

     By letter dated February 9, 1978, Mr. Kendrick,
then a Meatcutting Worker WG-5, appealed the classi-
fication of his position to this Office and claimed
backpay from September 20, 1973, on the grounds that
be had been performing the duties of the position of
Meatcutter WG-8 since that date. In support of his
claim he submitted (1) a report of a position classi-
fication specialist, dated September 20, 1973, in-
dicating that in three annual classification reviews
Meatcutting Workers WG-5 had been found to be per-
forming tasks which fell within the difficulty range
of Meatcutter WG-8; (2) a memorandum from the Head
of the Wage and Classification Division' of the Con-
solidated Personnel Office for the Naval. Air Station,
