    MATTER OF:
                     John M. mbry - Overtime compensation

    DIGEST:.
                1.  Federal Protective Officer (FPO) employed by General
                    Services Administration (GSA), Region 9, appealed
                    our Transportation and Claims Division disallowance
                    of his claim for overtime compensation for time spent
                    changing into and out of uniform before and after
                    official tour of duty. Disallowance is affirmed since
                    GSA reported changing uniform at job was wholly
                    voluntary and Regional Commissioner of GSA's Region 9,
                    the only official authorized to order or approve
                    Region 9's FPOs performance of such overtime did not
                    order or approve such overtime work.

                2.  Federal Protective Officer employed by General
                    Services Administration who appealed our Transportation
                    and Claims Division's denial of his claim for overtime
                    compensation for having worked during his lunch
                    periods may not be compensated for such periods
                    since his lunches were eaten during his normal 8-hour
                    shift for which he was already compensated.

          This action concerns an appeal from our Transportation and
     Claims Division's disallowance of the claim of Mr. John M. Embry
     for overtime compensation believed due because of his early reporting
     and delayed departures and for lunch periods during which he worked,
     incident to his employment with the General Services Administration
     (GSA), Region 9, as a Federal Protective Officer (FPO).

          The record shows that Mr. Embry claimed overtime compensation
     from 1965 to the present time, excluding periods during which he
     was on sick or annual leave and excluding the period from August 1967
     to May 1968, in the amoumt of 20 to 30 minutes per day for allegedly
     being required to report early and leave late in order to change
     into and out of his uniform and to perform other incidental duties.
     Mr. Embry also claims 31) minutes overtime compensation per day for
     lunch periods during which he worked. On October 1, 1974, our
     Transportation and Claims Division denied Mr. Embry's claim because
     any overtime he may have worked in order to change into and out of
     uniform was not performed pursuant to an official requirement and
     was not ordered or approved by the authorized official and because
