DECISION



FILE:   B-200548


MATTER OF


DIGEST:


THE COMP    ER GENERAL
OF THE UNITEO STATES
WASHINGTON. 0.C. 20548




      DATE: August 12, 1981


-:  Willis E. Staymates - Lump-Sum Leave
    Rate Payable

Employee, grade GS-13, step 9, retired
from his position, and then was rehired
as a part-time reemployed annuitant at
GS-12, step 10, before the expiration of
period covered by his lump-sum annual
leave payment. Employee is entitled
to be paid for lump-sum annual leave at
rate for GS-13, step 9, for period be-
tween retirement and reemployment.
After separation from the GS-12 posi-
tion he is entitled to receive a lump-
sum annual leave payment only at the
rate for GS-12, step 10.


     Mr. Willis E. Staymates appeals the settlement of
our Claims Group disallowing his request to be paid for
his lump-sum annual leave at the rate of grade GS-13,
step 9, instead of the rate of grade GS-12, step 10.
For the reasons stated below, we affirm the disallowance
of this claim.

     The pertinent facts are as follows. Mr. Staymates,
a former employee of the Department of the Army, Harry
Diamond Laboratories, retired from his Supervisory
Engineering Technician position, grade GS-13, step 9, on
September 7, 1979. He was then reemployed in a part-time
position, effective September 14, 1979, as a reemployed
annuitant, Engineering Technician, grade GS-12, step 10.
He was given a lump-sum payment for annual leave for
September 10-13, 1979, at the grade GS-13, step 9 rate.
On January 4, 1980, his part-time position terminated and
he was given a lump-sum annual leave payment for his then
remaining annual leave at the grade GS-12, step 10 rate.

     Mr. Staymates argues that both of his lump-sum payments
should have been at the grade GS-13, step 9 rate. His argu-
ment is based on the allegation that he was not counselled
by the Department of the Army, prior to his retirement on
September 7, 1979, and his reemployment on September 14, 1979,
