     FILE: B-194891                DATE: August 8, 1979

     MATTER  OF: Mr. Jacob Klein


     DIGEST:   A Federal  mployee appointed to a
               GS-13 position is detailed to perform
               duties of a GS-14 position and becomes
               entitled to a temporary promotion and
               backpay under 55 Com  ,Gen. 539 (1975).
               Where the position E  classified down-
               ward during the detail.siiee an occupant
               of a position may only receive the
               salary authorized for that position,
               if the employee continues on the detail
               after it is reclassifie c  wward t-
               a GS S-  evet, hema   not continue
               to receive the Payt    hehgrlvl
               on an  after t                on
               effective d

        This action is in response to a letter dated April 6,
    1979, with enclosures, from Mr. Jacob Klein, appealing
    a settlement by our Claims Division, dated March 16, 1979,
    which disallowed his entitlement to backpay for the period
    March 4, 1974, through October 24, 1976, incident to a
    temporary promotion received effective May 2, 1973. We
    sustain the disallowance because after March 3, 1974, he
    was not serving in a position officially classified at
    the higher grade.

        The file reflects that Mr. Klein, a grade GS-13,
   hemical  Engineer with the Department of the Army at
§b '~Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, was unofficially
   detailed to a grade GS-14 Supervisory Mechanical
   Engineer position (Chief) in the Flame Section on
   January 2, 1973, and officially detailed to the position
   on April 2, 1973.  That position was officially classi-
   fied at the GS-14 level until March 3, 1974, at which
   time it was reduced to a grade GS-13 level. The reason
   given for the classification reduction was that on
   administrative examination it was determined that the
   organizational structure of that section was such that
   it would not support a Chief of the section at the grade
   GS-14 level.
