   FtLE:   B-205972               DATE; Nay 25, 1982
   MATTEl OF:     Rodgers D. O'Neill - Entitlement to Military
                  Leave Prior to Appointment
   DIGEiSr     Because an appointment tW! the cAvil
               service is effective only after the
               appointee has accepted the appoint-
               ment and actually entered on duty,
               an appointee who has not entered on
               duty is not an emPloyee as defined
               in 5 U.s.c9 5 2105 and, therefore,
               is not entitled to mtilitary leave
               under 5 U.S.C. 5 6323.
      The Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary (Manpower
 and Reserve Affairs), Department of the Army, requests
 a decision concerning the entitlement of Mr. Rodgers D.
 O'Neill to military leave. The issue is whether a
 new appointee is entitled to military leave when he is
 calle i to active duty in the Reserves prior to his en-
 trgrh.e on duty for the civilian position. , he appointee
 is not entitled to military leave because tha civilian
 appointment had not yet become effective at the time of
 his ;all to active duty.

     MLr. Rodveru D, O'Neill, a civilian, was selected
by the Civilian Personnel office, Fort McCoy, Sparta,
Wisconsin, for a position as an Army Reserve Technician,
Fairborn. Ohio.  A prey:equisite for appointment to the
position was membership in a U. S. Army Active Rescrve
unit.  Accordingly,,,Mr. O'Neill enlisted in such a ;nit
on June 29, 1980, and furnished a ct.py of the enlistmont
order4 to Fort MrCoy.  The Civilian Personnel Office
at Fort McCoy notlfied him to report for duty on July 13,
1980, but, for personal reasons, he requested a change in
his reporting date to July 27, 1980.

      On July 26, 2980, Mr. O'Neill was ordered to activ0
duty for training with his Reserve unit, Prior to this,
on June 26,' 1980, he had signed an Appointment Affidavit,
Standard Form 61 (SF 61).  Both the Appointment Affidavit
and the Standard Form 50, Notification of PersonneZ Action
indicated that the effecLive date of the appointment was
August 10, 1980. Mr. O'Neill remained on active duty until
August 9, and reported for duty for thc' civilianposition
