                             THE  COMPTRCiLLER GENERAL
DECISION                     OF   THE UNITED STATES
                             WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548




FILE:    B-183107                   DATE:    AUG  12 1975   9750 I

MVATTER   OF:
                 Lawrence J. Stark - Overtime compensation while
                 held as prisoner of war
DIGEST:
            Civilian employee is entitled to overtime compensation
            based on amount received prior to missing status if
            such compensation was part of his regularly scheduled
            pay and allowances and such overtime compensation
            continues throughout missing status period even though
            office to which employee was assigned is disestablished.
            However, where overtime compensation is not part of
            regularly scheduled pay and allowances, employee does
            not receive same unless he may become entitled'
            thereafter and such entitlement would be based on
            overtime performed by his replacement or average
            irregularly scheduled overtime of employees in his unit.

      This matter concerns an appeal by Mr. Lawrence J. Stark of
 decision B-183107, April 30, 1975, 54 Comp. Gen.   , regarding
 the amount of compensation that Mr.-Stark should receive for the      -
 period he spent as a prisoner of war.

      In our previous decision we held that Mr. Stark was entitled
 under the Missing Persons Act, 5 U.S.C. 5 5561, et seq. (1970), to
 receive overtime compensation during the period of his missing
 status.  Such compensation was to be determined from the amount
 of overtime hours Mr. Stark's replacement worked, or in the
 alternative, on the basis of the average number of overtime hours
 worked by other employees performing similar duties in the same
 office where Mr. Stark was employed. Furthermore, we held that
 Mr. Stark was not entitled to overtime compensation subsequent to
 the disestablishment of his office, unless it could be shown that
 Mr. Stark would have been reassigned or transferred to another
 office where he would have continued to perform overtime work.

      Mr. Stark appeals the method described to determine his
 overtime compensation, and the possible discontinuance of overtime
 pay after the disestablishment of his office. Mr. Stark claims
 that his overtime hours were part of his regularly scheduled
 workweek, thus his compensation should be based on such.



                                               PUBLISHED DECISION
                                               55 Comp. GeM .........
