Alexander - Claim for Overtime Pay File: B-224094 Date: February 27, 1987 DIGEST A FLSA exempt civilian nurse claims entitlement to overtime for periods of time during which she allegedly performed pre-shift duties, attended mandatory meetings and worked through lunch. Her claim may not be allowed since there was no showing the overtime was actually performed or that if it was, it was ordered, approved, or induced by an official with authority to do so. The employee's claim for working through lunch may not be allowed since she worked an 8-hour shift which had no provision for a duty-free lunch. DECISION This decision is in response to the appeal of Ms. Lillie C. Alexander, from our Claims Group's determination of June 24, 1986 (Z-2854036), disallowing her claim for overtime. From July 1, 1973 to October 18, 1980,1/ Ms. Alexander was a nurse at the United States Air Force-Hospital, Mather Air Force Base, California. She contends that during this time she was reauired to report to duty 15 minutes prior to the start of her shift, that she was required to work without a lunch break, and that she was required to attend mandatory meetings outside of her regular working hours. Ms. Alexander claims entitlement to overtime for all of these periods of time. For the reasons outlined below, we uphold our Claims Group's denial of her claim. FACTS Ms. Alexander states that she, along with the rest of the nurses on staff at Mather AFB Hospital, was reauired to report to duty 15 minutes prior to the start of her duty in order to receive a report of patients from the outgoing 1/ Ms. Alexander's claim was received in this office on December 29, 1983. Thus, we are precluded by the 6-year Parrinq Act, 31 U.S.C. 3702 (1982), from considering any portion of her claim prior to December 29, 1977. Cmi7( )3oz,343
