MATTER  OF:

        OF  THE   UNITED STATES

Louis Osbourne - Overtime compe ation
in lieu of compensatory time off


(1)  Former Air Force employee requests
     reconsideration of Claims Division
     disallowance of claim for overtime
     compensation in lieu of compensatory
     time off for period December 1971
     through August 1977. Claimant bases
     request for reconsideration on dispute
     of fact with agency. Where written
     statements submitted by a Government
     agency and individual claimant present
     irreconcilable dispute of fact, this
     Office has no alternative but to ac-
     cept agency's statement of facts.
     Since claim is doubtful due to lack
     of suitable evidence we must deny
     -claim and leave claimant to remedy
     in courts. See Lawrence J.-McCarren,
     B-181632, February 12, 1980.


         (2)  In claim for overtime compensation in
              lieu of compensatory time off, claimant
              contends he was never advised of his
              rights pursuant to Federal Personnel
              Manual, chapter 550, S1-3d. and that
              he was administratively pressured to
              accept, as opposed to requesting,
              compensatory time off. However, in
              accordance with Air Force regulations,
              employee's initialing of time cards
              provides contrary evidence of employee's
              understanding that he was requesting
              compensatory time off in lieu of over-
              time pay. Resulting factual dispute on
              which appeal is based is of insufficient
              probative value to permit payment of the
              claim.

     Mr. Louis Osbourne requests reconsideration of his claim
for overtime compensation in lieu of compensatory time for
the period December 1971 through August 1977, as an
employee of the Department of the Air Force. The claim
was disallowed by our Claims Division on January 11, 1980.
