MATTER  OF:  Robert D. Warren - Retroactive Promotion
             and Backpay

DIGEST:      (1)  Civilian employee of Department
                  of the Army claims retroactive
                  promotion and backpay for period
                  June 21, 1977, to October 13, 1978,
                  during which he was assigned as
                  Acting Director, Directorate of
                  Engineering and Housing. Since
                  position was not formally estab-
                  lished or classified as civilian
                  General Schedule position until
                  June 15, 1978, when claimant was
                  temporarily promoted to newly
                  classified position, he is not
                  entitled to relief afforded
                  under Turner-Caldwell decisions,-
                  55 Comp. Gen. 539 (1975), affirmed
                  56 Comp. 427 41977).

             (2)  Matters relating to allegations
                  of improper position classification,
                  including alleged unreasonable delay
                  in processing of position classifica-
                  tion, are for employing agency and
                  Office of Personnel Management.
                  GAO has no authority to settle
                  claims on any basis other than the
                  agency or OPM classification, nor
                  does GAO have authority to award
                  backpay to an employee for period
                  of erroneous classification of his
                  position. See cases and regulations
                  cited.


     This decision concerning Mr. Robert D. Warren, re-
considers Settlement Certificate Z-2815613 dated August
1979, issued by our Claims Division, disallowing his
claim for a retroactive temporary promotion and backpay
for the period from June 21, 1977, through October 13,
1978, incident to his employment with the Department
of the Army.
