Decision



Matterof- Paul E. Laughlin - FLSA Entitlement

File:     B-170264

Date:     September 22, 1986



DIGEST

Electronics Maintenance Technician employed by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) claims additional Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) compensation. The employee's original
entitlement was based on an administrative compromise settle-
ment of an action filed by similarly situated employees.
Employee's claim is denied in the absence of evidence that
the FAA acted unreasonably in its implementation of the
compromise settlement for claimant here and the other 3,000
similarly situated employees. Further, employee has not met
his burden of proof to show that meal and sleep periods were
not bona fide.


DECISION

This decision is in response to an appeal by Mr. Paul E.
Laughlin, an employee of the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), from the amount awarded him for overtime compensa-
tion. For the reasons that follow, Mr. Laughlin's claim is
denied.

BACKGROUND

In our decision Paul E. Laughlin, B-170264, September 28,
1982, we held that Mr. Laughlin was entitled to overtime
compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA),
29 U.S.C. SS 201 et seq., retroactive to May 1, 1974. Thus,
we remanded his cTaim to the FAA for calculation of the
amount due. The FAA did so and now Mr. Laughlin protests
the findings, the determination as to the hours worked,
and the gross amounts due.
