 Dear Major Preetorius:

      This is in reply to your letter of October 1, 1970, reference
 DBASC-MB, making inquiry as to- whether edjustment may be made in the
 leave balance of Mr. Robert J. Muncie, an employee of the Defense
 Supply Agency (DBA), as requested in his letter of September 23, 1970.

      Due to an error by ISA Civilian Personnel Office in determining
 the employee's correct service computation date, Mr. Mancie was placed
 in the 8-hour leave-earning category rather than his proper 6-hour
 category.  He was thus overeredited leave from July 2, 1967, until the
 error was discovered on May 5, 1970.  Mr. Muncie states that in 1968
 and 1969 he used leave which on the basis of the erroneous 8-hour
 computation exceedpd the 30-day ceiling on annual leave imposed by
 5 U.s.c. 63o4(a).  Re maintains that he would not have taken this
 leave had his balance been properly computed, because it would not
 have been in the use or lose' category.

     The  letter furnished by your Accounting and Finance Office indi-
cates that recomputation  of Wr. Muncie's leave balance under the proper
leave category  left him with a total of 188 hours to his credit at the
end of the 1969  leave year. Mr. Muncie  contends that an adjustment in
his leave balance ought to be  made inasmuch as the administrative error
resulted in his  taking leave which he says he otherwise would not have
taken and which upon reconstruction of his leave balance resulted  in a
balance below the 240 hours that he apparently would like to have  main-
tained.  He states that since the recomputation of his leave balance
entailed reducing his yearly accrual of leave by 25 percent  (i.e., 2
hours fever per pay period), the leave which he used should be  likewise
reduced by 25 percent for purposes of the reconstruction of his balance.

     When it is discovered that an employee has had leave erroneously
credited to his account, his  Leave account is reconstructed for each
year involved, subtracting the total leave used in each of the years
to arrive at a proper current balance.  The record indicates that this
