handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaccn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Marianna Mehutcs File: B-261592 Date: November 13, 1995 DIGEST Promotion of an employee in a trainee position was delayed because of a computer crash before the promotion request reached the authorized official. Where delay precedes the authorized official's approval, no administrative intent to promote can be established so as to support a claim for retroactive promotion. The cause of the delay is less important than the timing of the delay. DECISION The Director, Human Resources Directorate, Defense Contract Management District South (DCMDS), Defense Logistics Agency, Marietta, Georgia, requests approval to retroactively promote Ms. Marianna Mehutcs, a contract specialist trainee, in Norfolk, Virginia. BACKGROUND Ms. Mehutcs was competitively selected as a contract specialist trainee, GS-1102-05, with a target position of GS-1102-11. Her reassignment was effective on December 5, 1993. In order to be eligible for a noncompetitive promotion as a trainee, she was required to complete specific training, have 1 year of specialized experience at the next lower grade, and be recommended for promotion. On October 28, 1994, Major Howard the head of the Norfolk office, certified that Ms. Mehutcs had met these requirements. He submitted the Personnel Action Request System Form (PARS 52) to promote Ms. Mehutcs to the GS-7 level effective December 4, 1994. Mr. O'Connell, the Deputy for DCMAO Baltimore, approved the PARS 52. In November 1994, the automated system at DCMDS crashed and all the PARS 52 were lost. The staffing specialist in Atlanta authorized to approve promotions never received the PARS 52 for Ms. Mehutcs. 337119
