handle is hein.gao/gaobadhsv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: DECISION ~qOLLE C, Z 6~ 0 p THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. 0.C. 2054S FILE: B-192684 DATE: November 19, 1979 MATTER OF: Lawrence J. Ponce uality Step Increase Vn./ Retroactive Temporary Promotion DIGEST: There was no inconsistency between awarding quality step increase (QSI) for GS-11 work while the employee was detailed to a GS-12 position and later granting a retroactive temporary promotion for the detail. Once granted, employee had vested right to QSI, since it did not violate any statute or regula- tion. Consequently, the employee is entitled to both QSI and retroactive temporary promotion. 5 U. S. C. § 5336; 5 C. F. R. §§ 531. 411-412; Army Regulation 672-20. By letter dated June 8, 1979, Charles W. Weatherholt, Acting Director of Civilian Personnel, Department of the Army, has appealed the Claims DIvisiton'sallowance of both a quality step increase (QSI) and a retroactive temporary promotion for a detail to a higher-grade position to Lawrence J. Ponce. The employing L agency, the U. S. Army Materiel Development and Readiness oa (DARCOM), Automated Logistics Management Systems Agency (Agency), St. Louis, Missouri, informed Mr. Ponce on June 22, 1978, that he may have one but not both of these benefits. Our Claims Division allowed the employee's claim to both benifits by letter of March 27, 1979, to the U. S. Army Finance and Accounting Center. ISSUE The issue is whether Mr. Ponce, who received a QSI as a GS-11 while serving in a GS-12 position to which he was detailed, should now be allowed to retain the QSI and to also receive a retroactive temporary promotion granted to him for the same detail. FACTS On January 24, 1971, Mr. Ponce was reassigned to the Direc- tor's Office of the Agency's Materiel Management Directorate. ------ 73 / lk 0%'M
