           Matterof:   Lillian B. Crosier - Backpay Award

           File:       B-230368

           Date:       September 1, 1989


             DIGEST

             Employee who was denied a promotion because of age dis-
             crimination is entitled to be credited with the amount of
             compensatory time earned by the incumbent of the position
             she was denied for all periods during which she would have
             been ready, willing, and able to perform the duties of the
             position. Since the employee now is retired, she may
             receive overtime pay for these compensatory hours as part of
             her backpay award.


             DECISION

             An official of the Department of the Navy asks whether
             Ms. Lillian B. Crosier, who was denied a promotion because
             of age discrimination, may be credited with the hours of
             compensatory time earned by the incumbent in the position
             she was denied. Ms. Crosier may be credited with the total
             hours of compensatory time earned by the incumbent for the
             period in which she was ready, willing and able to perform
             the duties of the position. Since she retired without
             returning to duty, she may be paid for these hours at the
             rate for which she would have been paid overtime for the
             hours.

             BACKGROUND

             Ms. Crosier, a civilian employee of the Department of the
             Navy, applied for a higher graded position, Budget Officer,
             grade GS-12, with the Navy. Following her nonselection she
             filed a complaint with the Navy alleging, among other
             things, that she was denied the position because of discrim-
             ination based upon her age. The Secretary of the Navy found
             that she had been discriminated against on the basis of age
             and was therefore entitled to a retroactive promotion with
             backpay. Since she had retired by the time of the decision,
             the Navy correctly awarded her backpay for all periods that
