Sunday Pay for Part-Time Workers

Are you a part-time federal worker who works Sundays? If so, you'll like a new proposed regulation from the Office of Personnel Management, which would eliminate the requirement that you be a full-time federal employee to receive an extra 25 percent of your wages if you work on Sunday. Interestingly, in offering more details on the Office of Personnel Management's results-only work environment pilot program yesterday, OPM deputy chief of staff Justin Johnson said the extra-pay requirement on Sundays was something the agency was looking at as a barrier to getting more folks working on more flexible schedules. It definitely seems like folks should get extra pay if they're required to work Sunday and sacrifice personal time and time with their families. But should they also receive it if they choose to work Sundays?
