Sunday Premium Payments

On May 26, 2009, decision, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that part-time employees are entitled to Sunday premium pay for work performed on Sundays under 5 US.C. 5546(a). This serves as notification that all agencies are required to pay part-time employees Sunday premium pay when such employees meet the requirements for entitlement to such payments pursuant to 5 US.C. 5546(a). more details

In this instance, the employee's burden is to establish that he or she (1) worked part-time, (2) worked on a Sunday during the claims period, and (3) did not receive an appropriate amount of premium pay. Claims will be accepted and processed for the period of May 26, 2003 through May 26, 2009 for current and former NAF employees.

In addition a current or former employee should, provide documentation to the agency employing him or her showing when the Sunday work was performed. Such documentation includes, but is not limited to, the employee's orders, certification of attendance, time and attendance records; or other documentation, such as employee affidavits or supervisory records. Part-time employees should specify the dates they performed Sunday work without receiving Sunday premium pay, and should provide evidence that in fact they were not paid Sunday premium pay for those Sundays. All claims should be made in writing and employing agencies should evaluate any relevant evidence provided by the claimant or in their possession to see if it supports the claim. Based on the accrual dates, claims for Sunday work performed between May 26, 2003 and May 26 May 2009 must be received not later than May 26, 2015.
