MATTER OF: Kenneth L. Nash - Annual leave benefits
               as part-time employee


DIGEST:


Immigration and Naturalization Service inspector
whose positin  was designated intermitten' is
nonetheless entitled to annual leave benefits on
a pro rata basis as a part-time employee having
an established regular tour of duty since he was
routinely issued a form scheduling his work.at
specific times and dates for each of the 2 work-
weeks of the next pay period. Under these cir-

annual leave under chapter 63, subchapter I, of title 5 of the
United States Code.  In support of this contention, he cites
the fact th-at lie was granted annual leave subsequent to
January 18, 1976, for work performed as an INS inspector in
San Juan under the same conditions.

     Effective January 18, 1976, administrative jurisdiction
for INS employees in the San Juan District was transferred from
the former Southeact Region, INS Office, to the Eastern Regional
Otfice, INS.  As of that same date, Mr. Nash's appointment was
redesignated part-time and frui then until his appointment
was terminated, he was credits. with annual leave as a part-time
employee serving subject Lo an established tour of duty. The
record contains a letter dated August 24, 1976, from the New York
Region of the Civil Service Commission, indicating that upon a
