MATTER   OF:   Marion McCaleb:  Retroactive Promotion - Position
               Reclassification


Employee's GS-12  position was reclassified administratively
to GS-13, effective June 2, 1975, incident to employee's
grievance related to co-workers' promotions which had
become  effective October 11, 1974. Reclassification of
position with concomitant pay increase may not be made
retroactive other than as provided in 5 C. F. R. § 511. 703.


   By  letter dated August 25, 1975, the National
(NLRB)  requested our decision as to the possible
motion by reclassification of an NLRB employee.

The  pertinent facts


    Marion McCaleb, a Management  Analyst under the
    jurisdiction of the General Counsel, upon learning that
    two coworkers had been promoted (reclassified) from
    GS-343-12 to GS-343-13 effective October 11, 1974,
    grieved management's failure to similarly promote
    her through reclassification from her position of
    GS-343-12 to a GS-343-13.

    The promotions in question are reclassifications
    based upon accretion of duties and not competitive
    actions. The General Counsel, hearing the entire
    grievance upon appeal, determined in part that
    grievant was performing GS-13 work at the time of
    the reclassification of the other two Management
    Analysts and that sufficient basis existed for con-
    cluding grievant performed GS-13 work thereafter
    to present.

    Having determined grievant was classified wrongfully
    at the GS-12 level, the General Counsel thereupon
    reclassified grievant to the GS-13 level, effective
    June 2, 1975. (Footnote omitted.)

    The Board states that it adheres to the principle of equal pay for
substantially equal work,  set forth in the Classification Act of 1949,
5 U. S. C. 5 5101(1)(A) (1970). The Board believes the situation here is
similar to that reported in 54 Comp. Gen. 69 (1974). In that case the
agency involved had a nondiscretionary agency policy which required
