Dear Mr. Fo-c:

     This replies  to your letter of September 17, 1979, question-
ing the propriety  of and requesting our comments on case No.  5,
Chapter IV, SSA Guide  4-1, page 23.  This case is as  follows;

     Csse No.  5

     1SA contact  stations are located away from  their
     district  and branch office to provide 'aervice to
     the public.  A  representative may appear at a con-
     tact station  on a weekly or monthly bas   and
     public service  policy requires that all, people
     calling  at the contact station be taken care of
     since mnny  of them may have driven a substantial
     distance  for thu service.  As a result, the field
     representative  may have to work overtime at the
     contact  station as well as drive back to his
     official  duty station aftr'r the normal workday.

     Determination

     Although  the unnber of people calling at a con-
     tact station  cannot be controlled or scheduled,  the
     contact  station hoLrs can bn scheduled.  The em-
     ployee  Ia entitled 1o overtime pay for the actudl
     overtime  hours worked, but not for the travel  time
     in returning  to his resdence.

     It is  your view that time spont in return  travel to your
official duty  station after overtime work at a contact  station
should be  construed as work time and compensable  because you
carry with  you files, forms, claim folders etc.
