handle is hein.gao/gaobadmsn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matterof: Effects on Pay of Crossing International Dateline File: B-223047 Date: June 8, 1987 DIGEST 1. In accordance with the general rule cited in 48 Comp. Gen. 233 (1968), six Navy employees who crossed the inter- national dateline in both directions while traveling between Hawaii and Guam may not receive basic pay or overtime compen- sation for work performed during regular work hours of the day gained due to crossing the dateline in an eastward direction. Nonpayment for the regular duty hours worked on the day gained is offset by the fact that they were paid 8 hours of basic pay for a workday lost in crossing the international dateline going west earlier during the same cruise. 2. Where Navy employee's travel westward across the inter- national dateline results in the loss of a Saturday, the employee is entitled to overtime pay for all hours worked on a workday gained crossing the dateline while traveling eastward at end of the same assignment. Where employee loses a non- workday going west, the workday gained going east is to be treated as a nonworkday added at the end of the employee's regularly scheduled workweek and work performed on that day is to be compensated at overtime rates. Since this is an exten- sion of the principles stated in previous decisions, 48 Comp. Gen. 233 (1968) and 49 Comp. Gen. 329 (1969), it is to be applied prospectively. DECISION This is in response to a request for a decision concerning the appropriate manner of paying seven employees of the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) who worked an extra day due to crossing the international dateline.l/ We have been asked l/ This request was submitted by the Commanding Officer, Naval Oceanographic Office, Bay St. Louis, NSTL, Mississippi.
