MATTER   OF:  Robert C. Austin - Overtime Compensation


DIGEST: 1.


Bureau of Prisons employee those assigned
duties as an Inter-Group Coordinator at
Terminal Island: California, included sup-
porting inmate activities outside his scheduled
duty hours, as well as within them, is entitled
to be compensated for the overtime performed
since its performance was actively induced by
the official with authority to order or approve
overtime.


          2. Bureau of Prisonsemployee who  performed
             ektra duties during his regular tour of duty
             on holidays is entitled to-holiday pay for such
             duty. He is entitled to overtime comopeisation
             for duties on a holiday performed outside of
             his regular tour of duty. However, since night
             and Sunday duties are not shown to have been
             recurring or habitual in nature, he may not be
             paid Sunday and night premium pay.

    Mr. Robert C. Austin, an eraployee of the Bureau of
Prisons, hasappealed the action of our Clains Division which
ddhied his claim for overtime coipeiation for work allegedly
performed  by him in connection with inm-; te organizations. He
also claims holiday, night, and Sunday p .y. Mr. Austin points
out in his appeal that a similar claim in the amount of $6, 000
was allowed by our Claims Division to Mr. Jim L. Hudson, one
of his fellow employees it Terminal Island, and he requests that
we reconsider his claim in view of the apparent discrep-incy.

    The record shows that Mr. Austin is employed as an
Inter-Group Coordinator at the Federal Corrections Institution,
Termizial Island, California. Mr. Austin claims that duiing
his employment at Terminal Island he was required to perform
work  outside of his normal lduty hours. This work consisted
of escorting inmates on trips and attending meetings and other
functions of inmate organizations. Our Cli ns Division stated
the following in denying Mr. Austin's claim:
