HD0000000466098 - Hybrid Employees (0621)/Saturday Premium Pay Issue 2. HD0000000439332 - Employees not receiving Saturday premium pay PARTICIPATING TEST SITES: ========================= Salem VA Medical Center Salisbury, North Carolina VA Medical Center Remedy Overview: ================ 1. HD0000000466098 - Hybrid Employees (0621)/Saturday Premium Pay Issue Problem: -------- On February 17, 2011, 5540 Nursing Assistants, Occupation Series 0621, were converted to Hybrid status from Health Care worker status. Prior to the conversion, the Employee Pay Entitlements table displayed Saturday Premium as "Yes". Since the conversion the Saturday Premium changed to "No". Hybrid positions are entitled to Saturday Premium pay. Resolution: ----------- The Nursing Assistants were converted to hybrids in the Central PAID system and their type of appointment updated with a 5 or 6, via an edit and update download from Central PAID to VistA PAID ETA field stations. The VistA ETA software is updated to include the occupation series/title codes of the employees in the Hybrid table in order to recognize the employees as hybrids. 2. HD0000000439332 - Employees not receiving Saturday premium pay Problem: -------- Employees listed as medical instrument techs, with occupational series/title code of 064933 and type of appointment of 5, are not receiving Saturday premium pay. Resolution: ----------- The resolution for the Medical Instrument Techs is exactly as stated for the Nursing Assistants in the solution to HD0000000466098, listed above in Remedy item #1. The techs occupation series/title code is added to the Hybrid table.
