  MATTER OF:    Georgia and Leonie Mallory


  DIGEST:

        Two Department of Army employees were
        erroneously separated from permanent full-
        time positions and later reinstated with
        backpay under 5 U.S.C. S 5596 in inter-
        mittent positions as ordered by Merit
        Systems Protection Board. The Agency
        properly deducted from the employees'
        backpay awards the amounts which they had
        received as severance pay. Furthermore,
        they are not entitled to severance pay
        incident to their subsequent separations
        from the intermittent positions since
        severance pay entitlement only extends to
        employees with regularly prescheduled
        tours of duty.

     The matter presented concerns the severance pay
entitlement of two employees who were twice separated from
their positions with the Department of the Army.1
Initially they were separated from their permanent full-time
positions in a reduction in force. Pursuant to a decision
in their favor by the Merit Systems Protection Board they
were retroactively reinstated without a break in service in
intermittent positions. Subsequently they were separated by
reduction-in-force procedures from these intermittent posi-
tions. Retroactive restoration of the employees to duty
without a break in service as intermittent employees termi-
nated their right to severance pay in connection with their
original separations from their full-time positions and they
are not entitled to severance pay as a result of subsequent
involuntary separation from their intermittent positions.




    'This matter is presented by Major Barry G. Poole,
Finance and Accounting officer, Headquarters, 101st Airborne
Division (Air Assault) and Fort Campbell, Fort Campbell,
Kentucky.
