Compensation for Night Service.
a.
The rate of extra compensation for authorized overtime services performed at night on any
weekday is hereby fixed at one-half of the gross daily rate of regular pay of the employee who
performs the service for each 2 hours of compensable time. Any fraction of 2 hours amounting
to at least 1 hour will be counted as 2 hours. Special compensation may not be converted to
compensatory time off. Compensatory time off is provided only under authority of 5 U.S.C.
b.
The compensable time shall be as follows:
(1)
The period between the beginning of the night and the conclusion of the services if the
employee is assigned and reports for duty before the expiration of the first 4 hours of the
night (e.g., if the employee works from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the compensable time is 3
hours, or 1 day's pay);
(2)
The period between the time the employee is assigned and reports for duty and the
conclusion of the services, plus 4 hours, if the time of assignment is after the expiration of
the first 4 and before the beginning of the last 2 hours of the night (e.g., if the employee
works from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., the compensable time is 6 hours which would be
paid as 1 and 1/2 day's pay); The timeframe for this activity must be between 9:00 p.m.
and 6 a.m.; or
(3)
Two hours of the employee is assigned and reports for duty 2 hours or less before the end
of the night (6:00 a.m. to 8:00)) a.m.) i.e., if work is from from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.,
the compensable time is 2 hours, paid as 1/2 day's pay.
c.
If an employee performs Sunday or holiday services which are in continuation of an assignment
to overtime services begun during the last 2 night hours at the end of the regular workday
preceding such Sunday or holiday, the compensable time for the overtime services preceding the
Sunday or holiday shall be 2 hours (e.g., if work begins at 11:00 p.m. Saturday and continues to
2:00 a.m. Sunday, the compensable time for Saturday is 2 hours - 1/2 day's pay, plus 2 days' pay
for Sunday).
