MATTER OF: George D. Midgett Jr. - Compensation for      Iq
               employment in violation of appointment
               authority
DIGEST:
               Small Business Administration employee
               was removed from his position pursuant
               to a direction by Civil Service Commission
               that his Temporary Veterans Readjustment
               Appointment violated 5 CFR 316.402(b)(7).
               Employee is, nevertheless, to be considered
               as a de facto employee and, as such, is
               entitled to retain salary and lump-sum pay-
               ment for annual leave accrued during
               period of his employment.  Questions
               concerning Federal Group Life Insurance
               and Civil Service Retirement Law should
               be addressed to the Civil Service Com-

the employee was in violation of appointment authority. Specifically,
the Acting Regional Director requests a decision regarding the
employee's legal entitlement to (1) retain the salary he has been
paid during his appointment in the Small Business Administration
(SBA) which was in violation of a Civil Service regulation; (2)
retain his life insurance and Civil Service Retirement coverage
for that period; and (3) receive credit for that period of service
for leave and retirement purposes,

     Mr. George D. Miidgett Jr. was hired by the SEA under a Temporary
Veterans Readjustment Appointment (VRA). He assumed this position

Veterans Readjustment Coordinator of the Civil Service Comission,
