The Comptroller General
of the United States
Washington, D.C. 0548
Decision



          Yukio Fujikawa - Request for Additional
Mattero   Compensation - Reconsideration

File:     B-231927.2

Date:     February 12, 1990

DIGEST

An employee, who exercised his reemployment rights under
10 U.S.C. S 1586 (1982), accepted a demotion and returned
from overseas to his prior position in Hawaii. Upon recon-
sideration, he is entitled to additional compensation since
the agency set his rate of basic pay at less than that to
which he would have been entitled if he had not been
assigned to duty outside the United States. The term basic
pay includes the special rate of pay he received under
5 U.S.C. S 5303 before his overseas assignment. Decision
Yukio Fujikawa, B-231927, Feb. 3, 1989, is overruled.


DECISION

Mr. Fujikawa, a former employee of the Department of the
Navy, has appealed our denial of his claim for additional
compensation in our decision Yukio Fujikawa, B-231927,
Feb. 3, 1989. Mr. Fujikawa alleges that his salary was
erroneously set by the Navy upon his return from an overseas
assignment in 1974. For the reasons that follow, our
Feb. 3, 1989, decision is overruled and Mr. Fujikawa's claim
for additional compensation is allowed to the extent it is
not time-barred.i/

It is necessary to only briefly restate the facts here
since they are more fully set out in our prior decision.
Mr. Fujikawa was employed by the Navy at the Pearl Harbor
Naval Shipyard in Hawaii in 1966 as an engineer, grade
GS-1, step 7, where he received a special rate of pay
established for engineers under the provisions of 5 U.S.C.
S 5303 (1970).



I/   That portion of Mr. Fujikawa's claim which accrued
prior to December 29, 1981, is barred by the statutory
limitation in 31 U.S.C. S 3702(b)(1) (1982).
