       MATTER   OF:
                      Jacqueline Bailey - Entitlement to overtime
                      or compensatory time off
      DIGEST:
                   Where employee  of U. S. Marshals Service receives
                   premium  pay on an annual basis for administratively
                   uncontrollable overtime and performs administratively
                   scheduled irregular overtime for 2-1/2 hours in
                   connection with training course, claim for time and
                   one-half overtime compensation or compensatory time
                   off is disallowed since 5 U. S. C. § 5545(c)(2) (1970)
                   and inplementing regulations provide that employees
                   receiving premium pay on an annual basis receive such
                   pay in lieu of all other forms of premium compensation
                   for irregular or occasional overtime.

        This action is in resnonse to a letter dated October 8. 1975, from
     the Assistant Attorney General for Administration. an authori7ed
     certifying officer for the Department of Justice, requesting a decision
     as to whether Ms. Jacqueline Bailey, an employee of the United States
     Marshals Service, is entitled to time and one-half overtime compensa-
     tion or, alternatively, compensatory time off, for 2-1/2 hours work
     performed in ccnnection with a training course at the U. S. Marshals
     Service headquarters.

        The record shows that at all times pertinent to this inquiry,
     Ms. Bailey was receiving premium pay on an annual basis for
     administratively uncontrollable overtime. After having worked
     10-1/2 hours on April 16, 1975, Ms. Bailey was ordered to perform
     an additional 2-1/2 hours work in connection with a training course
     being held at the U. S. Marshals Service headquarters. Subsequently,
     she claimed time and eri-half overtime pay for the additional 2-1/2
     hours and, when that recuest was denied, requested alternatively
     that she be granted compensatory time off. 'This recIuest was also
     denied. The Assistant Attorney General for Administration seeks a
     ruling as to the propriety of both determinations.

        Section 5545(c) of title 5, United States Code (1970), provides
.   with regard to com pensation for administratively uncontrollable
     overtime work as follows:

              (c) The head of an agyency, with the
        approval of the Civil Service Commission
