MATTER


DIGEST:


DATE: March 27,   1979


9~1


     The Office of Civili n Personnel, Department of the Navy,
seeks clarification e         the Application of 56 Comp. Gen. 5517
(1977  which overruled the ruling in 54 Comp. Gen. 662 (1975). T
1975  ecision held that certain employees receiving premium pay
under 5 U.S.C. 5545(c)(1) should have leave restored to them which
was charged to them for absences on holidays. In the 1977 decision
we held that an employee in receipt of annual premium pay under
5 U.S.C. 5545(c)(1) (1970) at a rate determined in accordance with
5 C.F.R. 550.144(a) who performed work on holidays or was charged
annual leave for holidays falling within his regularly scheduled
tour of duty is not entitled to holiday premium pay or restoration
of annual leave charged.  Such employee may be excused without
charge to leave if his agency determines his services are not
required on a particular holiday.

     Specifically, we have been asked the following questions:

 Department of the Navy as  V  the intent of
 56 Comp. Gen. 551 (1977) 'requirea deduction of
 leave credited under 54 Comp. Gen. 662 (1977)
 but unused as of April 19, 1977, and whether
 related claims unresolved between the dates of
 the two decisions are valid. Such leave
 recredited prior to April 19, 1977, remains
 available for use. The determination in
 56 Comp. Gen. 551 to forego collection a'ction
 for lump-sum payments made for leave recredited
 and not to require correction of leave records
 for recredited leave taken pursuant to 54 Comp.
 Gen. 662, did not validate all claims that
 arose or were presented for payment between the
 dates of the two decisions. Rather, it ,was to
 inform agencies that corrective action would
 not be required for actions allowing claims
 taken prior to April 19, 1977, pursuant to
 54 Comp. Gen. 662.
