Arbitration Award of Backpay for Excessive Details to Higher Grade Positions

The Federal Labor Relations Council requested a decision on the legality of an arbitration award of backpay for the difference in pay between grades WG-1 and WG-2 for custodial employees detailed for extended periods to the higher grade positions between October 10, 1972, and November 11, 1973. The award may be implemented if it is modified to conform with the requirements of GAO Turner-Caldwell decisions, which were issued subsequent to the date of the award.
