DECISION





FILE: B-1971

MATTER OF:


DIGEST:


05


THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548




      DATE: August 12, 1981


Eugene C. Johnson - Backpay - Detail to Higher
Grade - Reconsideration

1. Employee of General Accounting Of-
    fice was detailed to higher-graded
    position on September 29, 1975. He
    was transferred with his position to
    General Services Administration (GSA)
    on October 12, 1975, and continued to
    perform the higher-grade duties. Em-
    ployee is entitled to retroactive tem-
    porary promotion and backpay for period
    of detail beyond 120 days until the posi-
    tion was reclassified downward on July 15,
    1976. Evidence in record indicates vacant,
    higher-graded position was transferred to
    GSA upon transfer of function. Further,
    prohibition on temporary promotions for
    details between agencies is not applicable
    under these circumstances. B-197105,
    September 30, 1980, sustained.


2. Grade GS-14 employee of General Accounting
    Office was detailed to grade GS-15 position
    on September 29, 1975. Both positions were
    transferred to General Services Administra-
    tion on October 12, 1975, as part of a
    transfer of function, and employee con-
    tinued to perform the higher-grade duties
    until grade GS-15 position was reclassified
    at grade GS-14 level in 1976. Section 202(b)
    of Pub. L. No. 93-604 authorizing transfer
    of function protects personnel - as opposed
    to positions - from reclassification for
    period of 2 years. Employee continued to
    be incumbent of position from which detailed,
    and his permanent position was not reduced
    in classification or compensation during
    2-year period. Personnel protections con-
    templated by statute have been afforded
  ..employee and do not extend to vacant, higher-
    graded position the duties of which employee
    performed incident to informal detail.
