THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON.  D.C. 20548



      DATE: May 17, 1983


MATTER OF: Kenneth L. Clark--Backpay--Computation on
            Reinstatement to Duty


DIGEST: 1.


Agency denied backpay for a portion of
employee's involuntary separation since
he had refused an offer of temporary
employment during his appeal to the Merit
Systems Protection Board, and also because
he did not show he was ready, willing,
and able to work during that period.
Employee, however, was not obligated to
accept alternate employment while admin-
istrative appeals were pending. Further,
no evidence shows that employee's medical
condition during that period differed
from his medical condition during the
period for which he was awarded backpay.
Accordingly, employee's claim for ad-
ditional backpay is granted, with ap-
propriate adjustments in annual and
sick leave.


           2. Employee claims that he is en-
               titled to additional overtime pay
               as part of his backpay award based
               on overtime hours worked by other
               employees during period of his
               separation. Agency based overtime
               payment on amount of overtime worked
               by the employee during preceding year.
               Based on the facts presented, this
               Office cannot say that the formula
               used by the agency in computing his
               entitlement to overtime is incorrect,
               Employee's claim for additional
               overtime in this respect is denied.

     This decision is in response to a request by
counsel on behalf of Mr. Kenneth L. Clark, a former
employee of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton,
Washington, for review of our Claims Group's Settlement
Certificate Z-2836175, dated June 7, 1982. By that
settlement, our ,Claims Group held that there was no
