MEMORANDUM FOR: Compensation and Tax Division, O/F
Adjustment of Additional Annual Rates for
Sunday Work of Standby Firefighters
25X1A
1. The Federal Salary and Fringe Benefits Act, Public
Law 89-504, July 18, 1966, authorizes night standby and irregular
duty pay to apply to employees whose workweek is irregular. The
-Civil Service Commission is charged with the responsibility for
developing regulations pursuant to this Act. Sections 550. 141 and
550. 144 of the Federal Personnel Manual authorize premium pay
on an annual basis to an employee whose position requires him to
remain at his station longer than the regular workday where a
substantial portion of such duty is standby. FPM Letter No. 550-18
of October 25, - 1966, revises subparagraph (a) of Section 550. 144 by
increasing the rate of compensation by 2-1/2 percent per annum if
the employee must work between 20 and 40 Sundays per year, and
by 5 percent if he is required to perform on an average of 41 or
more Sundays, provided the total annual rate increase for this and
other reasons does not exceed 25 percent. You have submitted the
following work schedule performed on an annual basis by Agency
firefighters and have asked whether the 2-1/2 percent or 5 percent
rate should apply:
First Week
0800 Monday to 0800 Tuesday
0800 Wednesday to 0800 Thursday
0800 Friday to 0800 Saturday
Second Week
0800 Sunday to 0800 Monday
0800 Thursday to 0800 Friday
0800 Saturday to 0800 Sunday

2. It is our opinion that any time served on a Sunday,
regardless of how long, would qualify that Sunday for being
counted toward the annual total. Thus, during the "first week"
above, there are no Sundays in the count; during the "second
week" there are two. If the schedule remains in effect for the
year, the employee would serve well over the 41 Sunday total
necessary to qualify for the 5 percent rate increase.
3. In our discussions you also asked whether working
two shifts on the same Sunday would count as one or two Sundays
for purposes of the cumulative total. Clearly, the regulation in
requiring 41 or more Sundays" of work to qualify for the 5 percent
rate intends to count each Sunday only once in calculating the
annual total.
4. In the case presented these firefighters should be
compensated- at the 5 percent rate.
