                        THE  COMPTROLLER GENERAL
DECISION                OF  THE UNITED STATES
                        WASHINGTON. D.C. 2054e


FILE:  B-196691


DATE: May 15, 1980


MATTER  OF:  Sherman D. Rachels, et al.


Where same duties were concurrently
classified and filled at WG-ll and
WG-13 pending action to properly
establish those duties at the lower
grade, grievance determination that
WG-ll employees should be given retro-
active temporary promotions with backpay
may not be implemented. Backpay is not
available as a remedy for classification
inequities and because employees performed
duties of their appointed WG-11 position,

WG-13 positions so as to entitle them
to retroactive temporary promotions under
Turner-Caldwell decision.

Naval Air Rework Facility (NARF).      -0            6

of a grievance appeal, Mr. Rachels and 7 other NARF
employees were awarded retroactive temporary promotions
and backpay by the Commanding Officer, NARF. The
grievance appeal determination stated in pertinent
part:

         3.  I have reviewed the facts and circumstances
       of this grievance. The record reflects that
       you and the other WG-2663-ll mechanics in Shop
       65101 have been performing essentially the same
       duties as the employees in Shop 65101 who are
       currently classified as WG-2650-13 mechanics.
       As you may know, the proper classification
       of the WG-2650-13 mechanic position has been
