Claim for Backpay on Basis of Alleged Entitlement to Retroactive Reclassification

An employee claimed backpay because of his alleged entitlement to retroactive reclassification from GS-11 to GS-12 and contended that he performed duties at the higher level. The facts presented by the claimant and the agency regarding the duties performed were in direct conflict, but it is clear that the claimant was a GS-11 position during the claim. He was not entitled to backpay for wrongful classification; the claim was denied.
