            Dear Mr, Uenia:

                We refer  again to your submission dated July  7, 1982, concerning
            emtitlement  to payment of overtime compensation  during'periods that an
            employee is  on military leave.  In your letter  you explained that as a
            result er2 a Naval audit the Facility changed  its policy on making over-
            tiet 'tnayments tor periods that employees are on military leave.  You
            furchar state  that in view of an arbitration  award which indicated
            that the Facility's  policy with regard to  the payment of overtime is
            incorrect you  desire guidance on payment of  overtime compensation in
            other cases  involving military leave.

                You state  that i  the Facility adheres  to its current policy you
            expect rhat  the union will file another grievance.   Regulations provide
            that the Comptroller  General will not issue  a decision or coment  on
            the merits of  a matter which is subject to  a negotiated grievance pro-
            cedure authorized  by 5 U.S.C. 7121, except upon  the request of an
            authorized  certifying or disbursing officer  or the joint request of
            the agency  and labor organization.  See 4 C.FR.   22.7(b)(1982).  In
            addition,  those regulatiorta require that a copy of a request be served
            on the appropriate  representative of the labor  organization and that a
            statement of  service be submitted to the General  Accounting Office.
            See 4 C.F.R.  22.4 (1982).  We call to your attention  that payments
            made pursuant  to ar arbitration award which  is final and timely under
            5 U.S.C. 7122(a)  or (b) are considered conclusive  and the Comptroller
            General will  not review or comment on the merits  of such &n award.
            However, payments  made under an arbitration  award do not constitute
            precedent  for payment in -instances not covered by the award.  See
            4 C.F.R. 22.7(a)(1982).   We are enclosing the  regulations set forth
            at 4 C.F.R. Part  22 (1982).
