DIGEST:

THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, O.C. 2054S



      DATE:  may 24, 1983


Michael Halik - Claim for Retroactivo
Promotion Incident to Overlong Detaill

An employee of the Department of the
Army claims a retroactive temporary pro-
motion with backpay under our Turner-
Caldwell decisions for having performed
the duties of a higher graded position
during an overlong detail from May 14,
1972 through January 4, 1980. However,
the Court of Claims ruled in Wilson v.
United States, Ct. Cl. No. 324-81C, Order,
October 23, 1981, that employees have
no entitlement under the applicable
statute or regulations to temporary
promotions for overlong details. Since
we have accepted the Wilson'decision
and no longer follow our prior
Turner-Caldwell decisions with respect
to pending or future cases, the em-
ployee's claim is denied. See
Turner-Caldwell III, B-203564, May 25,
1982, 61 Comp. Gen. 408.


      Mr. Michael Halik has appealed our Claims Group
 settlement (Z-2844097, August 11, 1982) barring considera-
 tion of a portion--and denying the balance--of Mr. Halik's
 claim for a retroactive temporary promotion and backpay
 incident to an alleged overlong detail for the period
 from May 14, 1972 through January 4, 1980. Pursuant to
 31 U.S.C. 5 3702 (formerly 31 U.S.C. S 71a) which provides
 that a claim must be received in GAO within 6 years after
 the date it accrued, our Claims Group barred consideration
 of that portion of Mr. Halik's claim arising more than 6
 years before July 19, 1982, when Mr. Halik's claim was
.received in this Office. Our Claims Group denied the
balance of his claim on the basis of Turner-Caldwell III.    ._
B-203564, May 25, 1982, 61 Comp. Gen, 408, where we ruled
that we will follow the decision by the Court of Claims in
A. Leon Wilson v. United States, Ct. Cl. No. 324-81C,
Order, October 23,, 1981, which reaches the opposite result
from our orior Turner-Caldwell decisions. Therefore, we
no longer follow our prior Turner-Caldwell decisions.
