MATTER OF:
                Mary L. McLain - Leave without Pay

DIGEST:
           Employee took leave in accordance with directive
           of supervisor who apparently acted on mistaken
           belief that employee had not received compen-
           sation at rate specified in contract and was
           entitled to paid leave in lieu of additional
           monetary compensation. Claim is denied since
           employee had received all compensation to which
           she was entitled.

     This action is a response to an appeal from a settlement
of our Transportation and Claims Division (now Claims Division)
Z-2548107, March 26, 1975, which disallowed a claim for payment
for four days of leave without pay charged to Mrs. Mary L.
McLain an employee of the Department of the Army.

     The record shows that Mrs. McLain entered into a contract
to perform the duties of Vice-Principal at the Tyndall Air
Force Base Elementary School, Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida,
a so-called Section 6 school, created under the authority of
section 6 of Public Law 81-874, 64 Stat. 1107, 20 U.S.C. 241(f).
The record also indicates that contracts for fiscal year 1973
were negotiated by Section 6 school employees on two different
bases.  One group of employees were on a fiscal year contract
basis, where the employee's services were required for a total
of 260 days.  The actual work days were 240 and the remaining
20 days were simply nonworking days. A second group of employees
were school-year employees, whose services were required for
less than 260 days.  Contracts for the second group specified
a total number of contract days of which a lesser amount were
workdays.  In both types of contracts, the salary was stated
as an annual amount.  Fiscal-year employees received their
annual salary for the full 260 days at a daily rate computed
by dividing the annual amount by 260.  Thus, the fiscal-year
employees were to receive 20 days vacation leave for which
they would be compensated at the daily rate. On the other
hand, the daily rate for the school-year employees was computed
by dividing the annual contract amount by the number of actual
workdays.  The school-year employees were thus paid for workdays
