Mr. Paul J. Comeaux
Supervisory Firefighter
Naval Support Activity,  Mare Island
Vallejo, California    94592


    Dear Mr. Comeaux:

         We refer to your letter dated  January 31, 1980,  w00190
    which was forwarded to our Office  by the Naval Supply
    Center, Oakland, California, requesting  that our Office
    review the correctness of the  computation of monies due
    you as the result of overtime you  have worked as an em-
    ployee of the Naval Support Activity,  Mare Island,
    Vallejo, California.

         The record indicated that  during the pay period
    ending December 2, 1978, you performed  25 hours of
    authorized overtime duty as a  result of attending
    required supervisory training.   Both you and your
    agency, the Naval Supply Activity,  agree on the number
    of hours of overtime that you  have  orked and that you
    are a nonexempt employee under  th ;Fair Labor Standards
    Act (FLSA).  Nevertheless,  it is your position that the
    agency is not computing correctly  the amount of money
    owed to you using the procedures  provided in Federal
    Personnel Manual 1,tM) Letter  551-5, January 15, 1975.

         Attachment 2,'page 5, of  FPM Letter 551-5, states
    the following regarding the computation  of FLSA overtime.

         An employee's regular  rate of pay
         must first be determined  in order to
         compute his overtime pay  entitlement
         under the FLSA.  Section  7(e) of the
         FLSA requires inclusion  in the 'reg-
         ular rate' of  'all remuneration for
         employment paid to, or  on behalf of,
         the employee' except  for certain
         specific exclusions.   Premium pay
         on an annual basis  for regularly
         scheduled standby duty  (5 U.S.C.
         V§ 5545(c)(1)) and premium pay on an
