                     1976, for performing duties of higher
                     graded position.  Record discloses that
                     higher graded position was abolished on
                     May 10, 1974, and position filled by
                     employee was not classified at higher
                     grade until March 12, 1976. Claim may
                     not be paid since employee occupied
                     higher grade position from March 12,
                     1976, to June 6, 1976, and that period
                     was less than required 120-day period
                     needed for retroactive temporary promotion
                     under Turner-Caldwell, 55 Comp. Gen. 539
                     (1975).

                  2. Employee claims backpay for period of
                     July 1, 1976 to December 6, 1976, for
                     performing duties of higher graded
                     position.  Record discloses that employee
                     filled newly created position which was
                     not classified until November 15, 1976.
                     Claim may not be paid since employee did
                     not occupy higher grade classified position
                     until November 15, 1976, and the period
                     from then to December 6, 1976, was less
                     than required 120-day period needed for
                     retroactive temporary promotion under
                     Turner-Caldwell, 55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975).

                 3.  Matters relating to allegations of improper
                     position classification are for employing
                     agency and Office of Personnel Management,
                     not GAO, and GAO has no authority to award
                     backpay to employee for period of erroneous
                     classification of his position.
