Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

[FBI Employees' Claims for Back Pay]

B-240239 Oct 29, 1990
Jump To:

Highlights

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) requested a decision regarding two FBI employees' claims for back pay. The claimants contended that they were specifically assigned and required to perform higher level duties outside their job description. GAO held that the claimants were not entitled to backpay, since: (1) federal employees were only entitled to the salary of their appointed position even though they performed higher level duties; and (2) they did not provide any evidence of FBI regulation or a collective bargaining agreement that required temporary promotions for details to higher graded positions. Accordingly, the claims were denied.
