DECISION




FILE: B-198120


MATTER C


DIGEST:


THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, 0. C. 20548



      DATE:  September 18, 1981


DF: Forest C. McKown - Claim for backpay
    for detail

(1) Civilian employed by Department of the
     Army as Training Instructor (Munitions),
     GS-II, claims retroactive'temporary
     promotion and backpay for alleged de-
     tail to and performance of higher-level
     duties of Training Instructor (Muni-
     tions), GS-12. Letter from former
     supervisor demonstrates his acquiescence
     in and employee's performance of higher-
     level duties for initial period of
     claim, so as to constitute a detail.
     Employee is entitled to relief under
     Turner-Caldwell line of decisions for
     that period.


            (2) For subsequent period, agency's admin-
                 istrative record and employee's state-
                 ment contain irreconcilable disputes
                 of fact. Where such written statements
                 so conflict, this Office has no alter-
                 native but to accept agency's statement
                 of facts. Since claim is doubtful due
                 to lack of suitable evidence we must
                 deny claim for subsequent period.


     This decision is in response to an appeal by
Mr. Forest C. McKown from our Claims Group action of
January 14, 1980, Settlement Certificate No. Z-2819311,
which denied his claim for a retroactive temporary
promotion and backpay.

     Mr. McKown alleges that while serving in the posi-
tion of Training Instructor (Munitions), GS-1712-lI, with
the Department of the Army he was detailed to the higher-
grade position of Training Instructor (Munitions),
GS-1712-12, for the period from July 2, 1972, to November 3,
1977, without prior Civil Service Commission approval.
Thus, under ou- decision in Turner-Caldwell, 55 Comp. Gen.
539 (1975), affirmed 56 Comp. Gen. 427 (1977), he claims
