Decision



Matterof: Ronald L. Barnhart - Overtime Compensation

File:     B-231024

Date:.    April 12, 1989


DIGEST

An employee who performed and was paid for overtime work
during a 4-month period claims overtime for another 4 months
after his supervisor indicated he should no longer request
payment for overtime. The employee may not be paid overtime
under 5 U.S.C. S 5542 (1982) during the second 4-month
period. Such overtime was not ordered or approved and there
was no inducement on the part of the supervisor for the
employee to continue to perform overtime work.


DECISION

Mr. Ronald L. Barnhart, an employee of the Department of
the Army, appeals the settlement issued by our Claims Group
denying his claim for overtime compensation.l/ For the
reasons stated later in this decision, we sustain the
disallowance of Mr. Barnhart's claim.

BACKGROUND

Mr. Barnhart requests payment for 98 hours of overtime
work performed from June 18 through October 23, 1985.
Mr. Barnhart states that he 4as paid for 106 hours of
overtime performed during the period from February 23
through June 15, 1985, and that he then received a note from
his supervisor, Lieutenant Colonel T. D. Manula, which read:
Ron, What am I getting for my money? Why should I pay
overtime to a dedicated supervisor?   (who is lookinq for
promotion) TDM. Mr. Barnhart states that based upon this
note and a request by Colonel Manula for him not to seek
payment for overtime, he stopped submitting requests for
overtime pay but continued to document the hours of overtime
he worked.
