           Outside Duty Hours
Matter of.
           B-229067
File:

Date:     November 29, 1988

DIGEST

An employee who traveled outside of her regularly scheduled
administrative workweek in order to be at certain ports 2 or
3 days prior to a ship's arrival is not entitled to overtime
compensation. Although the government could not control the
arrival of the ships, adequate notice of their arrival was
available in ample time to schedule the employee's travel
within her regularly scheduled workweek. Her claims for
overtime compensation are denied since record fails to
indicate any immediate official necessity for travel within
the meaning of 5 U.S.C. S 5542(b)(2)(B)(iv) and decisions of
this Office construing that overtime entitlement authority.


DECISION

Ms. Aimee A. Stover, an employee of the Defense Logistics
Agency, seeks overtime compensation for travel performed in
connection with her official duty.l/ Since the circum-
stances of Ms. Stover's travel do not meet the conditions
specified in the statute which authorizes overtime
compensation, we deny her claim.

(DFR-CF), a division of the Defense Fuel Supply Center,
Defense Logistics Agency. From February 1984 through
December 1985, she was assigned to the Island of Curacao in
the Netherlands Antilles. Ms. Stover's duty hours were
7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Her assignment
involved inspecting ships loading fuel products purchased
by the United States. This required considerable travel
throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. She claims



l/ This claim was submitted to us by Director of the Office
of Accounting and Finance, Defense Logistics Administrative
Support Center, Defense Logistics Agency.
