Sisk, David; Tammara, SeshagiriSubject: RE: WAIVER OF WORK SCHEDULE AND PAY CAP RULES FOR WORK IN RESPONSE TO THE EVENTS IN JAPANBob:HR s webpage on the summary of work schedule options states that

An employee whose schedule includes more than six hours of work on a day must take a minimum 45 minute unpaid meal break or rest period afterworking no more than six continuous hours. E:,npouyees may not take this meal/rest break at the begirring or end of the workday to shorten theworkday.

Are employees working 8-hour shifts in the HOC exempt from this meal/rest break requirement? Anotherwords, are we only going to be paid for 7.25 hrs when working an HOC 8-hr shift?Thanks.Brad415-4118W'tp :/www.intermal.nrc.gov/HR/work-schedule.htmlFrom: Schaaf, RobertSent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 2:46 PMTo: Braden, Michael; Brown, David; Dickson, Elijah; Hart, Michelle; Harvey, Brad; Mazaika, Michael; Quinlan, Kevin; Sisk,David; Tammara, SeshagiriCc: Short, Amanda; Dent, Kimberly; Lauron, Carolyn; Sweeney, BeverlySubject: FYI: WAIVER OF WORK SCHEDULE AND PAY CAP RULES FOR WORK IN RESPONSE TO THE EVENTS IN JAPANImportance: HighFYI, see attached regarding HR waiver of schedule and pay rules for staff assisting with Japan eventresponse.

MEMORANDUM TO: Those on the Attached ListFROM: Miriam L. Cohen, Director/RA by J. Buchholz for/Office of Human ResourcesSUBJECT: WAIVER OF WORK SCHEDULE AND PAY CAP RULES FORWORK INRESPONSE TO THE EVENTS IN JAPAN

I have approved a waiver of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) work schedulerules, as well as a waiver of the biweekly cap on combined salary plus premium pay: for NRCemployees serving in and supporting the NRC Operations Center, as well as NRC employeesworking in Japan, in response to the current, serious nuclear power plant issues in that country.Work Schedule LimitationsNRC permits a variety of types of work schedules, including 5-4/9 compressed work schedules(CWS) and NEWFlex flexible work schedules that include limitations on permissible workdaysand working clock hours. Other types of work schedules, including Expanded-Compressedwork schedules (E-CWS) in emergency situations, and First-40 work schedules in unusualsituations, do not contain such limitations. A summary of work schedule options may be foundon the intranet at .tto:i/www .internal.nrc.qov/HR/wcrk-schedule.html.I have approved a waiver of limitations on permissible workdays and working clock hours forNRC employees working in response to these events. As a result, employees on 5-4/9 CWSmay work weekends, employees on NEWFlex may work Sundays, and employees on bothtypes of work schedules may work any clock hours, as appropriate (an exception to the 11.25hour maximum limitation on NEWFlex workdays is not possible).Biweekly Ca pAs a matter of Federal-wide law and regulations, employees who are exempt from the FairLabor Standards Act (most NRC employees are exempt) normally are subject to a biweekly capon combined salary plus premium pay. This year, the cap is equal to the salary for GG-15step 10. Premium pay includes the following categories: night premium pay, Sunday premiumpay, holiday premium pay, overtime premium pay, and regular compensatory time off (notreligious compensatory time off or Special Compensatory Time Off for Travel).For further details, please see the February 3, 2011, NRC Announcement entitled 'EmployeeResources: 2011 Cap on Combined Salary Plus Premium Pay," available on the intranet athy:/Iwww.interraJ.nrc.qov/announcE.->*ntsJ/terms 7625.-htl.
