After completing the initial processing at the personnel office, the claimant declined the offer of employment and departed the facility without ever having engaged in the pe:formance of the duties o-f the posi'tioft. Hi: claiar may' not _e paid since it is fundament'al that rights to compeftsati6n under the civil servic4 laws do not accrue to a person who has been offered an appointment to a position until that person attains the status of a Federal employee by accepting the appointment and entering on duty. DECISION This action is in response to an appeal of a settlement by our Claims Group denying Mr. Harry Olson's claim for compen- sation relating to an application he submitted for employment with the United States Navy. We sustain the action of our Claims Group. BACKGROUND According to the Navy's administrative report in this matter, in January 1985 Mr. Harry Olson was made a verbal offer of employment as a Mechanical Engineer, GS-830-11, with the Navy Air Systems Command, Weapons Support Directorate, Pacific Missile Test Center, Point Mugu, California. This offer was made after several visits with the supervisor of the position who had indicated that appointment to Mr. Olson's highest previous General Schedule grade and step level would be authorized in light of Mr. Olson's previous Federal employ- ment. The supervisor apparently was under the impression that his previous Federal employment had been at the highest step of the GS-11 grade level.
