   MATTER bFT Richard F. triggs .


   DIGEST:

     1. Claimant, an investigator for the Air
         Force, was required to be available by
         telephone so that he could be called back
         to his duty station if his services were
         needed. He is not entitled to premium
         pay because his residence had not been
         designated by the agency as his duty
         station and his duties were not so
         substantially restricted as to bring him
         within the purview of 5 U.S.C.
         § 5545(c)(1) as implemented by 5 C.F.R.
         § 550.143. Neither would the employee's
         standby or on-call status be considered
         hours of work for payment of overtime
         under 5 U.S.C. § 5542.

     2. Claimant, an investigator for the Air
         Force whose rate of pay was not in excess
         of maximum rate of grade GS-10, should
         have received overtime compensation for
         call-back overtime work instead of
         compensatory time off if he did not
         request the compensatory time off.
         However, payment may not be made in this
         case because the claimant has not
         provided evidence sufficient to establish
         that overtime was worked for which
         compensatory time had not been requested.

     This matter concerns the appeal by Mr. Richard F.
Briggs of the settlement of our Claims Group which
disallowed his claim for overtime compensation for standby
duty for the period from August 1963 to 1976 and for call-
back overtime dut  for the period from August 1963 to
December 3, 1976._/  Mr. Briggs' claim is based on his


I/   By Settlement Certificate Z-2847675, February 27,
     1984, the Claims Group denied Mr. Briggs' claim for
     overtime compensation.
