Martin - Overtime compensation for preliminary and postliminary duties DIGEST: Veterans Administration (VA) employee whose claim was considered under B-176580, August 7, 1974, appealed certificate of settlement disallowing claim. Certificate of settlement is sustained as no evidence presented to distinguish case from B-176580, supra, which disallowed overtime claims of two represent- ative employees at VA Hospital, Augusta, Georgia.
