Backpay for overlong detail
provisions of a negotiateO


1982


zarriello -
- Interpreting
agreement


Employees claim retroactive temporary
promotion and backpay for overlong
details to duties in experimental unit
which were samc duties performed by
other employees classified at higher
grade elsewhere in agency. Claims are
disallowed because to qualify for back-
pay, detail must be to established
classified higher grade position. Fact
that similar positions were classified
at a higher grade in other components
of the agency does not provide basis fo':
retroactive temporary promnotion with
backpay.


2. Agency's inquiry as to whether provisions of
    a negotiated agreement may be retroactively
    applied presents question requiring inter-
    pretation of a collective bargaining agree-
    ment which is more appropriately resolved
    under the provisions of 5 U.S.C. SS 7101-
    7135, the Federal Service Labor-Management
    Relations Statute.


     The first issue in this case involves entitlement to
retroactive temporary promotions with backpay for overlong
details to perform duties in a experimental unit which
were the sane duties performed by other employees in
other units classified at higher grades, We find that
there is no entitlement to backpay since the positions to
which the claimants were detailed were not yet officially
classified. The second issue is the extent to which this
Office will interpret and apply provisions of collective
bargaining agreements. That issue is discussed below.
     In this decision we are considering the claims of
Ms. Aletha B. Bowie and Ms. Melinda Zarriello for retroac-
tive temporary promotions and backpay in connection with
alleged overlong details to higher grade positions as
