MATTER OF: Canal Zone Govertment - Effect of consolidation
               of school systems on payroll plan -. Reconsideration

DIGEST:        Teachers being transferred from Latin American
               Schools to American Schools in Canal Zone object
               to additional period without pay caused by con-
               solidation of two school systems. TEachers
               point out inequities and hardships which result
               from merger plan, and request that they be paid
               same as if merger had not been implemented del-ing
               12-month period in question. Hardships enumerated
               by teachers do not overcome prohibition of 5 U.S.C.
               5536.  Prior decision of December 21, 1977, is
               sustained.

     This decision is in response to a request by Local S00 of the
American Federation of State, County and Munkipal Employees, AFL-CIC,
for reconsideration of our decision B-131587, December 21, 1977.

     Our decision concerned the union's proposal that teAchers who
are forr-d to take a second vacation period due to consolidation
of school systems in the Canal Zone be paid during this second
vacation period. We ruied that the proposal could not be instituted
since it would -result in teachers receiving 16 months of pay during
a 12-month period which 4ould be in contravention of 5 U.S.C. 5536.
The facts of this case were fully stated .n our decision of
December 21, 1977, and need not be repeat:d here.

     Tn asking for reconsideration the union states., in pertinent
part, as followus

          Implementation of the Latin American teachers
     recommendation meant that from March 1976 to March
     1977 the Latin American teachers would have earned
     15-months pay in 12 months, but it also meant that
     from March 1977 to March 1978 the teachers would
     have earned only 9-monthe pay in a 12-months period
     as they would not have been paid for the 3-months
     from June 5, 1977 through August 24, l'7 (vacation
     perxsd) as previously outlined. Furth, , teachers
     would have received 24 monzhs pay from iarch 1976 -
     March 1978 based on the teachers prsvo:- I in a 24
     months period. There would have been : loss in
