OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON., .C. 20548 FILE: B-194751 DATE: November 7, 1980 MATTER OF: Alfred W. Hill et al. ±vertime compensa- t ion DIGEST: 1. Civilian uniformed guards who were required to perform certain duties prior to their 8 hour shift cannot receive overtime compensation absent evidence that those duties required more than 10 minutes to perform. Pre- shift activities that take 10 minutes or less to perform may be disregarded as de minimis. Baylor v. United States, 198 Ct. Cl. 331 (1972Y. 2. Civilian uniformed guards were not re- quired to change uniforms at work but were free to do so at home. Therefore claim for 20 minutes overtime compensa- tion for uniform changing time is dis- allowed. Frank E. McGuffin, B-198387, June 10, 1980. Mr. Alfred W. Hill et al., appeal our Claims Division's Settlement Certificate of February 28, 1979, which denied their claim for retroactive over- time compensation. We sustain the denial of the claim for the reasons set forth below. The claimants are.employed as uniformed guards by the Police Protection Branch of the Naval Educa- tion and Training Center (NETC), Newport, Rhode Island. As basis for their claim, they allege that from May 1954, to June 1977, they were required to: 1. re- port to work 30 minutes prior to each 8 hour shift; 2. spend at least 20 minutes each day in addition to their 8 hour shift, changing into and out of uniform. The claimants rely on Baylor v. United States, 198 Ct. Cl. 331 (1972) wherein overtime compensation was awarded to General Services Administration uni- formed guards for the performance of preshift activi- ties and for time spent changing into and out of uniform. 0
