$TXT Created by ANDERSON,DOUG at MNTVBB.FO-ALBANY.MED.VA.GOV (KIDS) on Friday, 10/22/04 at 15:48 ============================================================================= Run Date: FEB 16, 2005 Designation: PRS*4*96 Package : PRS - PAID Priority: EMERGENCY Version : 4 SEQ #88 Status: Released Compliance Date: FEB 17, 2005 ============================================================================= Associated patches: (v)PRS*4*90 <<= must be installed BEFORE `PRS*4*96' (v)PRS*4*92 <<= must be installed BEFORE `PRS*4*96' Subject: HYBRID AND SNT UPDATES Category: - Routine - Other Description: ============ Public Law 108-170 authorized Title 38 Saturday premium pay to Title 5 VHA health care workers effective pay period 1, 2004 (1-11-04). It has since been determined that the intent of this legislation was to authorize Title 38 weekend pay for these employees. This means that Sunday premium pay under Title 38 rules are also applicable to these employees. This patch modifies the existing Saturday premium pay codes S, T, U and V currently used for Saturday premium pay for these employees to allow, decompose and calculate Sunday premium pay under Title 38 rules. The software incorrectly credits Saturday Premium pay when the tour of duty begins on Saturday and ends on Sunday. This patch will correct this problem. This patch addresses the following New Service Request(s): ---------------------------------------------------------- SR 04-725 Entitlement Table for PL 108-170 SR 04-736 Allow Title 38 for Title 5 HCW This patch addresses the following NOIS message(s): --------------------------------------------------- 1.

BIR-0404-32053 Sunday Premium Pay Incorrect post *92 Problem: -------- The software incorrectly credits Saturday Premium pay when the tour of duty begins on Saturday and ends on Sunday.
