As a Prevailing Rate Employee, How am I Paid Overtime?

Are There Limits on Premium Pay?

Pay for you as a GS employee may not exceed the biweekly rate of pay of GS-15, step 10. This includes pay for overtime, compensatory time and premium pay for night, holiday, or Sunday work.

Can I Earn Premium Pay for Training?

Payment of premium pay during periods of training generally is prohibited. This prohibition is waived when the training is given (5 CFR 410 Subpart D):

• During a period of duty for which you already are receiving premium pay.

• At night, because the situations which you must learn to handle occur only at night.

• On overtime, on a holiday, or on a Sunday because the cost of the training, including premium pay, is less than the cost of the same training confined to regular working hours.

• Based on an exception authorized by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) or under delegated authority from OPM.
