Section 6-B1316. TRAINING AND THE PAYMENT OF PREMIUM PAY

 

1316.1Each agency shall schedule employee training so as to avoid, whenever possible, periods when overtime or premium pay, or both, would otherwise be payable.

 

1316.2Pursuant to § 1301(c)(2) of the CMPA (D.C. Official Code §1-613.01(c)(2)) (2001), an employee assigned for training under this chapter shall not be paid overtime, holiday, night differential or Sunday premium pay.

 

1316.3The Mayor (or his or her designee) may waive the prohibition on the payment of premium pay specified in § 1316.2 upon determining that such a payment would be in the interests of equity and good conscience or in the public interest.

 

1316.4Notwithstanding the provisions of § 1316.2, a District government employee may be paid the applicable premium pay under any of the following circumstances:

 

(a)If an employee, other than one assigned to full-time training at an institution of higher learning, is given training during a period of duty for which he or she is already receiving premium pay;

 

(b)If an employee is given training at night because the work situation he or she must learn to handle occurs only at night;

 

(c)If an employee is given training during hours in which he or she would be entitled to receive overtime, on a holiday, or on a Sunday, because the costs of such training, overtime or premium pay included, are less than the costs of the same training during regular work hours; or

 

(d)If the training is approved by the appropriate personnel authority upon a written request from the agency head (or his or her designee) giving the facts and circumstances of the matter and recommending a specific course of action.
