DECISION





FILE: B-198142


THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON.  . C. 20 8




      DATE:   August 19, 1981


MATTER OF: Allan S. Danoff and Leo A. Sanchez -
            Termination of temporary promotions


DIGEST: 1.


Two employees were given temporary
promotions nc' to exceed 1 year.
During that period, the agency with-
out prior notice to the employees
terminated the temporary promotions
as part of a major reorganization.
They claim backpay because they were
not notified of the termination until
after it became effective and because
they continued performing higher-level
duties. Since temporary promotions
may be terminated at any time in the
agency's discretion, and the employees
knew or should have known of the ter-
minations, the claims of the two em-
ployees for backpay are denied.


        2. Two employees, whose temporary promo-
            tions were terminated by their agency,
            continued to perform higher-level duties
            after termination. They are not entitled
            to backpay under Turner-Caldwell decisions
            because period of detail after termina-
            tion of temporary promotions did not
            exceed 120 days.

     In this case we decide that two employees of the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) are
not entitled to backpay after their temporary promo-
tions were terminated without prior notice to them.
The question was raised by EEOC's Budget and Finance
Director who requested an advance decision on whether
the backpay remedy recommended by a grievance examiner
may be implemented.

     Mr.. Allen S. Danoff and Mr. Leo A. Sanchez were
employed in the Baltimore District Office of the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission. On July 30, 1978,
they both received temporary promotions, not to exceed
one year, from Equal Opportunity Specialist, GS-12, to
Supervisory Equal Opportunity Specialist, GS-13. By
letters of July 19, 1978, both had been notified in ad-
vance that the promotions were temporary and that, when
