MATTER   OF: David J. McCullough - Compensation for Service
             Performed Beyond Limitation of Appointmene
 DIGEST: Employee of Department of the Interior who
         worked beyond his temporary appointment
         limitation due to administrative error may
         be compensated for services which were per-
         formed in good faith, but may not be credited
         with leave attributable to services performed
         between date appointment limitation was ex-
         ceeded and date of permanent appointment.

     This is in response to a request from Dennis J.
Hubscher, an authorized certifying officer of the
Department of the Interior, for a decision concerning
Mr. David J. McCullough's entitlement to compensation
for the time he worked after the expiration of his
temporary appointment and before his appointment
to a permanent position.

     Mr. McCullough was hired on June 11, 1979, by the
Department of the Interior as a Student Assistant-Ac-
counting, under a temporary appointment which was riot
to exceed September 8, 1979. Effective September 9,
1979, he received an excepted temporary appointment
not to exceed March 8, 1980, which was limited to
1,040 hours.  Reassignment to a full-time career-
conditional appointment was requested on February 21,.
1980, and was approved effective March 4, 1980. He
exceeded the hours limitation on his second appointment
on February 23, 1980, and worked 89 regular hours and
1 overtime hour over his limit before his permanent
appointment became effective.

     The Department of the Interior reports that
the appointment limitation was exceeded because
Mr. McCullough worked a considerable amount of over-
time and his time was not monitored by his supervisor
since he expected that Mr. McCullough would receive
a permanent appointment.

     The issue is whether Mr. McCullough is entitled
to compensation for services he performed between the
date his temporary appointment limitation was exceeded
