THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, 0. C. 20549



      DATE:   September 11, 1981


MATTER OF: Irving Kintish     Retroactive Temporary


DIGEST:


     L JAI'J.'i L %           /
Employee appeals action of Clafims Group
which denied retroactive temporary promotion
and backpay.under Turner-Caldwell, 56 Comp.
Gen. 427 (1977), on basis that detail was less
than 240 days. Disallowance is affirmed as
details commencing after February 15, 1979,
are covered by FPM Bulletin 300-48, March 19,
1979, which permits agencies to detail
employees for up to 240 days without OPM
approval.


     By a letter dated June 18, 1981, Mr. Irving L.
Kintish appealed the action of our Claims Group, AFMD,
in Settlement Certificate No. Z-2831096, issued June 10,
1981. That action disallowed his claim for a retroactive
temporary promotion and backpay from grade GS-12 to grade
GS-13 between August 11 and November 18, 1980. For the
reasons stated herein we affirm the disallowance of the
Claims Group.

     Mr. Kintish, a General Engineer, GS-12, with the
United States Army Armament Research and Development
Command, Dover, New Jersey, was detailed to the position
of Value Engineer, GS-13, on March 24, 1980. On April 13,
1980, he received a temporary promotion for 120 days,
which terminated on August 10, 1980. However, he
continued to perform the duties of the GS-13 position
until November 21, 1980, and requested backpay for the
103-day period from August 11 through November 21, 1980.

     The Command's Civilian Personnel Office granted
Mr. Kintish 3 days' backpay for the period November 19-21,
1980, on the basis of our decision Turner-Caldwell, 56 Comp.
Gen. 427 (1977), which held that employees who are detailed
to a higher grade position for more than 120 days without
Civil Service Commission (now Office of Personnel Management)
approval are entitled to a retroactive temporary promotion
and backpay beginning on the 121st day of the detail.
Mr. Kintish's 120-day waiting period consisted of 20 days
from March 24 to April 12, 1980, and 100 days following his
temporary promotion (the period of his temporary promotion
being excluded). Thus, Mr. Kintish was granted a temporary
promotion for the last 3 days of his detail, November 19-21,
1980.
