  NOTE: If your 8-hour day was normally scheduled for the holiday, you will not be eligible for compensatory time or overtime crediting under this guidance.

• Obtain your supervisor’s approval signature
• Submit, via your timekeeper, both a copy of the original timecard and the amended timecard to the Payroll Office

NOTE: Submit required timecard information for each pay period affected. Submit all claims (for all pay periods affected) in a single package, for each employee, to the Payroll Office.

All claims for compensation must be received by July 20, 1998. Late claims will not be accepted.

A NASA Form 1110, Overtime Authorization Record, will not be required for payment of overtime/compensatory time for this administrative error.

Payment of overtime will be paid at the rate you were eligible to receive at that time.

Any leave recredited will be subject to your use or lose leave cap for 1997. If this adjustment results in any excess leave for leave year 1997, the adjusted amount will be automatically restored and must be used in the leave year ending January 13, 2001.
