Opinion issued January 9, 1979
    
    JOSEPH LARRY GARRETT vs. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY
    (No. CC-78-237)
    No appearance by claimant.
    
      Ellen F. Warder, Attorney at Law, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM:

This claim was submitted for decision based on the allegations of the Notice of Claim and the respondent’s Answer.

Claimant seeks payment of the sum of $290.56 for overtime worked during the month of June, 1978.

In its Answer, the respondent admits the validity of the claim, and further states that there were sufficient funds remaining in the appropriation for the Department of Public Safety for the fiscal year in question from which the overtime could have been paid; however, said overtime request was not honored because it was not presented for payment within the fiscal year in which the services were rendered and the liability incurred.

Based on the foregoing facts, an award in the above amount is hereby made.

Award of $290.56.
