The firefighters are entitled to receive the same amount of compensation as they normally receive for their regularly scheduled tour of duty in a biweekly work period. The court leave provision, 5 U.S.C. 6322, expressly provides that an employee is entitled to leave for jury duty without reduction or loss of pay. This action is in response to a(lrequest from Mr. Gordon E. Grainger, President, Local 977, National Federation of Federal Employees, for a decision concerning the entitlement of firefighters at George Air Force Base, California, to additional premium pay when their overtime entitlement under the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. 201 et seq., is reduced due to court leave for jury duty Turing their regularly scheduled tour of duty.- This matter has been presented under our procedures set forth at 4 C.F.R. Part 22 (1982) for decisions on appropriated fund expenditures which are of mutual concern to agencies and labor organizations. For the reasons set forth below, firefighters who are absent from work during their tour of duty while on court leave are entitled to receive the same amount of pay which they would otherwise receive for working their regularly scheduled 144-hour tour of duty in a biweekly work period. The submission indicates that the firefighters at George Air Force Base are regularly scheduled to work a tour of duty of 144 hours in each bi- weekly work period and that they receive overtime /.2 D7//
