Cloud Department of the Navy Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, California 90740-5000 Dear Mr. Cloud: We refer to your letter dated December 5, 1986 (7300 Ser 0211/2450), forwarded to our Office by the Director, Commercial Accounts Department, Navy Regional Finance Center, Washington, D.C., by letter of January 23, 1987 (7200 Ser 43/004), requesting an advance decision from our Office concerning whether or not the civilian guard per- sonnel at Seal Beach California, are entitled to retro- active compensation for alleged overtime worked and if so, how far back the alleged overtime is compensable.

The unwritten policy allegedly required civilian guard personnel to be in uniform, have their government issued firearms checked out from the armory, and on occasion, to have their government vehicle checked out prior to the commencement of their shift. You further report that civilian guard per- sonnel were required to check in their government issued firearms and vehicles and encouraged to change their uniforms after the end of their respective shifts. The claimed period that this unwritten policy was in effect is from July 1970 until February 23, 1986. Your letter states that an examination of records was made in an attempt to document these claims, but the records reflect only regular time worked. Further, you indicate that turnover of all management personnel that may have implemented or would have had knowledge of the alleged policy precludes your ability to verify the claim. I
