         DIGEST

         A bonus received by a retired member employed in a civilian
         position with the government should not be considered in
         computing the reduction in retired pay required by 5 U.S.C.
         S 5532(c) when an individual's combined retired pay and pay
         for the civilian position exceeds level V of the Executive
         Schedule as a result of the bonus, since the statute refers
         to the basic pay of the position.


         DECISION

         Captain Milton D. Beach, USN, retired, has submitted
         a claim for amounts of retired pay withheld under the

         the claim is allowed.

         regular retired officers who are employed in a civilian
         position with the government. It also requires an addi-
         tional reduction in retired pay when an individual's annual
         retired pay as reduced combined with the pay of his
         civilian position exceeds level V of the Executive Schedule.
         This reduction is implemented on the basis of civilian pay
         periods.

         normal salary ordinarily does not exceed level V of the
