Opinion:
POCH, J.
This matter coming on to be heard upon the motion of Respondent for summary judgment, and, it appearing to the Court that Claimant has received due notice, and, the Court being fully advised in the premises;
Finds that Claimant was reclassified based upon the Civil Service Commission decision and was entitled to $484.39 based upon the receipt of her reconsideration request on September 30, 1977, by the director of personnel pursuant to Rule 1 — 30 of the Department of Personnel Rules; the Court further finds that Claimant did not fulfil the necessary required prior approval of the director of personnel to be eligible for "incentive pay" from April 16, 1977, through September 29, 1977, and therefore her claim for incentive pay during that period should be denied; the Court also finds that Claimant's allegation of changing the credible service date to September 1 in four succeeding years would amount to a thirteenth month of pay in each of the years in question, and therefore, this claim will be denied; the Court finally finds that "present cash value" is not a proper additional element of damage in a contract claim, and therefore the claim for "present cash value of the claim" will be denied.
It is hereby ordered that the motion of Respondent be and the same is hereby granted, and Claimant will be awarded $484.39 as a complete settlement of this complaint.
