Kaplan Nationa Association oZ Government Rmployoes 1341 0 Street, NW. Washington, D.C. 20005 Dear Hr. Kaplan. We refer to your letter dated August 7, 1973, on behalf of Hr. Frederick J Bohlander, an employee of the Department of the Navy, requesting review of our vettlement datedJune 28, 173, whichfdlsallo:ed his claim for additional compensationjfor te period-July 2 to August 20, 1972. The record Indicates that Hr. ohlandsr vas temporarily promoted from the position of Equipmont Specialist (GS-11/8) to ( that of Supervisory Equipment Speciallot (QS-12/4) and on July 2, 1972, he began performance of the highar ponition. ilowever,.the effective date of his promotion on SF-Sf (tfotification of Personnel Action) was shown to be August 20, 1972k Tha adminitrative office held that a revived Form 50 showing the promotion effective July 2, 1972, could not be processed because promotions may not be made retroactive. Review of our disallovance of Hr. Boblandor's sub- sequent claiu is requested on the ground this an administrativa error was rP03 e to the effective date of the promotion. It is ell-settled law that Federal Govern ment employees are eltitled only to the ualariea of position% to ihich they are up- poluted regar less of the duties they actually perform. Canse v. United States, 180 C. Cle. 183 (1967). Also, thit rule for deter- mining the eitctive date of a change of salary r isultiva from administrative action is the date of approval thereof by a proper administrative official, or such subsequent date as may be admin- istratively fEked. See 21 Comp. Ce, 95, 96 (1941)i 30 id. 156 (1950), and decisions cited therein, Moreover, salary increase may ordinarily not be made retroactively. oever, 1t has been held that when an employee has become eligible for a c' pensation increase under agency regulations, administrative action retro- actively correcting an error or ovettlight in processing the necessary documnnts to grant the increasam will not be regarded by us as a prohibited retroactive adjustment. See 37 Comp. Cen 300 (1957). *5-6
