 FILIE:   B-210722             DATE: December 27, 1983

 MATTER OF:      Gerald A. Mendiola, et al. - Overtime
                 Pay While Traveling

 DIQEST:
        1. Three employees of the Naval Ship
            Repair Facility, Guam, were assigned
            to temporary duty at Bremerton,
            Washington. During their journeys
            to and from the temporary duty site,
            they spent approximately 50 hours
            traveling, but were paid for only
            8 hours of that time. Employees are
            not entitled to overtime for such
            travel under 5 U.S.C. S 5542(b)(2)(B),
            since they did not meet any of the
            requirements of that statute. However,
            official who approved travel during
            nonduty hours should state his reasons
            in writing and, upon request, furnish
            a copy of his reasons in accordance
            with 5 C.F.R. S 610.123.

        2. Three employees of the Naval Ship
            Repair Facility, Guam, were assigned
            to temporary duty at Bremerton,
            Washington. During their journeys to
            and from the temporary duty site, they
            spent approximately 50 hours travel-
            ing, but were paid for only 8 hours
            of that time. If these employees
            are non-exempt under the Fair Labor
            Standards Act (FLSA), and they worked
            33 hours or more during their first
            week at Bremerton, they may be
            entitled to overtime pay for a portion
            of their trip to Bremerton because it
            corresponded to their normal tour of
            duty. There is no additional entitle-
            ment for the return trip, since they
            were already given credit for 8 hours
            of work during that journey.

     Mr. Juan P. Diaz, President, Local 1689, American
Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) has requested
a decision concerning claims for overtime pay by three
employees of the U.S. Naval Ship Repair Facility, Guam.
