eanor G. Atkins -Joertime
mpensation Claim


Employee of Department of the Army claims
overtime compensation from October 1,
1972, through September 30, 1976, incident
to her employment as a secretary. Claim may
not be allowed where claimant has presented
a summary of total hours of weekly overtime
she alleges to have worked during certain
periods of employment and a general and
indefinite statement by immediate supervisor
as to her hours of work. There is an absence
of sufficient evidence upon which a reasonable
determination of the number of hours worked
could be based.


     By letters dated June 4, 1979, and August 16, 1979,
Mrs. Eleanor G. Atkins, a civilian employee of the
Department of the Army, U.S. Army Engineer Division,
Europe, has appealed the action of the Claims Division,
which by Certificate of Settlement dated May 14, 1979,
disallowed her claim for overtime compensation for the
period from October 1, 1972, through September 30, 1976,
incident to her employment as a secretary.

     Section 71a of title 31, United States Code (1976),
requires that all claims cognizable by the General
Accounting Office be received in this Office within
6 years after the date such claim first accrued or be
forever. barred. Mrs. Atkins' claim, addressed to our
Claims Division, was received by our Office on January 2,
1979.  Thus, that portion of her claim for overtime
compensation prior to January 2, 19.73, may not be
considered.

     The record shows that during the period in question,
Mrs. Atkins was employed as a Secretary (Stenographer-
Interpreter) in the Executive Office, U.S. Army Engineer
