MATTLUR OF:   Erlyn D. Flder - Claim for Retroactive
              Class.ficaticn and Promotion
D)G!zET:
        a. Civilian employee of the Department of
            the Army employed in GS-7 position at
            time of claim soeks retroactive classi-
            fication and promotion with backoay for
            performing dutieti of position subs4.quently
            .lassified as GS-9,  Even assuming the
            correctness of her contention, we hold
            that this classification action cannot
            be given retroactive effect, and employee's
            claim is denied,

        . Employee ulaims retroactive temporary
            promotion and backpay, under our
            Turner-Caldwell decisions, However,
            the Court of Claims r%tled in Wilson v.
            United States, Ct. Cl. No. 324--81C, Order,
            October 23, 1981, that employees have no
            entitlement under statute or the Federal
            Personnel Manunl to temporary promotions
            for overlong details,  3ince we have
            revently ruled that we will follow the
            Wilson decision and no longer follow our
            pior TurnerCaldwell decisions with
            'capect to pending oi future casese the
            employee's claim is denied. See Turner:
            Caldell III, B-203564, May 25, 1982,

        3.  Prior Xo our decision An Turner-Caldwell III,
            Departivint of the Army administrative
            procm.eding granted employee's claim under
            Turner-Caldwell, counting a temporary pro-
            mo nperiod as part of detail time. However,
            such a period cannot count as detail time,
            and omitting this time from computations.
            details here were less than 120 days.
            Employtee is thus liable for erroneous pay-
            ment of compensation in excess of GS-7 level
            she received during relevant period, but
            under circumstances of this case, we will
            grant waiver of Government's claim for It.
