MATTER OF:     Reconsideration of Howard L. Young
               B-202864, August 10, 1982 - Overtime
               Compensation
DIGEST:
           Decision denying claim of employee for
           overtime compensation for period he was
           away on military leave is reversed.
           Claim was denied because although overtime
           was regularly scheduled, it was not clear
           that employee would have been required to
           work the overtime involved. Newly submit-
           ted evidence shows that employee would have
           been required to work and his claim is
           therefore allowed.

     Mr. Howard L. Young has requeLted reconsideration of
our decision, Howard L. Young, B-202864, August 10, 1982,
by which we denied his claim for overtime compensation for
the period he was on military leave from his civilian
position at the Naval Air Rework Facility (NARF) in
Jacksonville, Florida.

     Mr. Young's claim is based on 5 U.S.C. S 6323, which
 requires that an employee receive the same compensation he
 otherwise would have received had he not been away on
 military leave. As we pointed out in our earlier
 decision, we have held that in order for overtime work to
 -'e :ompensable with respect to an employee on military
 leave, the overtime duty must have been regularly
 scheduled, and it must have been clear that the employee
 would have been required to work the overtime. Lewis E.
 Keith, Jr., B-159835, March 11, 1976, and cases cited
 therein.

     Our decision of August 10, 1982, resulted from
Mr. Young's appeal from our Claims Group's denial of his
claim on the grounds that neither of the prerequisites for
compensation had been met--namely, that the overtime for
which he sought compensation was not regularly scheduled
nor was it clear that he would have been required to work
the overtime in question. Although we determined that the
overtime was regularly scheduled because it was authorized
in advance and was scheduled to recur on successive days,
we agreed with our Claims Group that Mr. Young had not
shown that he would have been required to work the
overtime in question.
