Decision

           Lee R. Schneider - Claim for Temporary Promotion
           and Backpay

File:      B-233131

Date:      June 22, 1989


DIGEST

Employee's claim for a retroactive temporary promotion and
backpay incident to an overlong detail is denied pursuant to
Turner-Caldwell III, 61 Comp. Gen. 408 (1982). An exception
to the Turner-Caldwell III rule exists where a collective
bargaining agreement prescribes temporary promotions in the
case of overlong details to higher grade positions; however,
the employee's claim does not fall within this exception
since he had not been detailed to a higher grade position.


DECISION

Mr. Lee R. Schneider, a former employee of the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS), has, through his attorney, requested
a review of our Claims Group settlement denying him a
retroactive temporary promotion and backpay incident to an
overlong detail.l/ For the reasons stated below, we concur
with the determination of our Claims Group and find no basis
for awarding a temporary promotion and backpay to
Mr. Schneider.

BACKGROUND

Mr. Schneider was employed as a grade GS-12, Revenue Agent,
with the IRS, and he claims that the duties he performed as
a technical advisor and expert witness from 1973 until 1982
called for a rating of grade GS-13 or 14. Mr. Schneider
states that the National Treasury Employees Union has a
collective bargaining agreement with the IRS which provides
for a temporary promotion and a subsequent pay increase for
employees who are detailed to a higher grade position for
30 consecutive days or more.
