MATTER


DIGEST;


OF:


THE COMPTROLUR GENERAL
OF THESUNITED eTAT'e
WAS HINGTON, o, o, 204 El



      DATE; January 19, 1982


Donald J9 Tate


1. Employee filed grievance with his
     agency alleging that his rating for
     promotion should have been higher.
     Agency denied grievance and employee
     alleges that agency violated grievance
     procedures primarily by not abiding
     by time limitations,     ters relating
     to grievances are not for the Gerferal
     Accounting Office, but are for the
     employing agency and' Office of Person-
     nel Management both of which considered
     the employee's complaints and Lound
     them to be without merit.

2.  Employee claims that delays in grievance
    procedures are adequate bases to give him
    bacJpay and a rate of pay upon promction
    above that he is entitled to based on
    his actual status,  Backpay may only be
    paid if a statutory basis exists for the
    entitlement, and a delay in a grievance
    which denies the relief sought by the
    grievant does not fall under any statute
    authorizkng backpay.  Since employee is
    not entitled to backpay, his rate of pay
    upon promotion must be based on his
    status when promoted.

3.  Employee claims that his rate of pay
    upon promotion should have been higher
    to reflect a promotion to a different
    pouition he did not receive since he was
    entitled to promotion and even if he was
    not, that delay in handling his grievance
    entitles him to this. Employee is entitled
    to higher rate of pay only if the denied
    promotion was one that he was entitled
    to under statute or a nondiscretionary
    agency policy.  Since employee was not
    entitled to the denied promotion, the
    rate of pay upon the subsequently
    granted promotion was correct.
