C. 20548 I T FILE: B-196859 DATE: February 19, 19, MATTER OF: Norma J. Raymond DIGEST: Civilian employee of Air Force stationed in Japan upon involuntary dismissal returned to United States. She contested dismissal and was reinstated to the posi- tion with backpay under 5 U.S.C. 5 5596. The backpay award includes allowances for housing and cost of living which are paid employees working in high cost areas over- seas even though the employee is not present in that area during period of wrongful dismissal. The question is whether an employee who is awarded backpay under the Back Pay Act (Act), 5 U.S.C. § 5596, for a wrongful dismissal is entitled to receive allow- ances provided to compensate the employee for being assigned to a high cost area when the employee is not present at the high cost area during the period of wrongful dismissal. Since the Act provides for payment of all allowances the employee would have earned if the improper dismissal had not occurred, she is entitled to receive the allowances in question. The question is presented for an advance decision by Captain Ronald M. Oberbillig, Accounting and Finance - Officer, Kadena Air Base, Japan, and concerns an award made to Norma J. Raymond, a civilian employee of the Air Force. Ms. Raymond was separated from her position of Supervisory Recreation Specialist--Service Club Activity, 18th Combat Support, Kadena Air Base, Japan, based on unsatisfactory performance of duty. She returned to the United States and appealed her dismissal to the Merit Systems Protection Board and a was awarded retroactive restoration and backpay under the Act. The employee did not return to Japan but rather resigned shortly after her reinstatement. ow7---
