Part Time Federal Employees Get A 25% Pay Increase

Part-time federal employees are now eligible for an additional 25 percent above their basic pay rate for work done on Sundays. That according to a final rule published by OPM this week. The new rule arose from a 2009 Court of Appeals decision that found part-time federal employees were entitled to the same right to Sunday premium pay as full-time employees were. The Sunday premium pay policy applies to General Schedule employees and certain other white-collar civilian federal employees. The final rule is effective Sept. 22.
