          Matterof.   Debra Ruth Wolin - Reimbursement for Compensatory
                      Time - Separation - District Court Employee
          File:       B-226173
          Date:       August 20, 1987


          DIGEST

          A former employee of a United States District Court claims
          reimbursement for unused compensatory time upon separation
          on the basis of an agreement between herself and the Clerk
          of the Court. Her claim is denied. The employee was
            appointed by the Clerk of the Court under provisions of
            28 U.S.C. S 751(b), to a position outside the competitive
            service, so that compensatory time and overtime provisions
            in title 5, United States Code, do not apply. Her
            compensation is fixed pursuant to statutory authority in
            28 U.S.C. S 604(a)(5), and there is no provision for payment
            for overtime or accrued compensatory time in the statute or
            implementing regulations. Federal employment relationship
            is statutory, not contractual, and Government is not bound
            by the unauthorized acts of its agents.


            DECISION

            INTRODUCTION

            This decision is the result of a joint request from the
            Administrative Office of the United States Courts and the
            United States Claims Court, based on an Order of the Court
            dated April 9, 1987, in the matter of Debra Ruth Wolin v.
            United States, No. 818-86C.l/ The subject matter is a claim
            of Ms. Wolin for reimbursement for accrued compensatory time
            and other relief. For the reasons that follow,
            Ms. Wolin's claim is denied.



            1/ This Office has a longstanding policy not to comment on a
            matter pending before a court of competent jurisdiction;
            however, all parties to this proceeding agree that the
            matter should be resolved by this Office.
