MATTER OF:      Clark Air Base - Premium Pay Overpayments
                to Employees


DIGEST:


qe   7  9Z


Air Force review showed that night differential
and Sunday premium overpayments were made to
local national employees at Clark Air Base in
the Philippines from July 1969 to December 1973.
No collection action is necessary since record
indicates individual overpayments are small,
cost of identifying them is excessive, and
all overpayments would be eligible for waiver
on individual case basis.


     The Department of the Air Force, Headquarters Air Force
Accounting and Finance Center, Denver, Colorado, has requested
our concurrence in and comments on its proposed action to forego
further action to collect certain overpayments to local national
employees at Clark Air Base, Philippine Islands, which occurred
as a result of administrative error.

     The overpayments in question involve both Sunday premium
and night shift differential payments made from July 28, 1969,
to December 15, 1973.  It appears that the local nationals in
question were employed at Clark Air Base and were eligible for
premium and differential payments pursuant to the Collective
Bargaining Agreements of July 28, 1969, and September 27, 1972,
as amended.

     In regard to Sunday premium pay, the Air Force reports that,
since July 28, 1969, it had been incorrectly paying the premium
for the entire 8-hour shift that started on Saturday and ended on
Sunday, and also for the entire 8-hour shift that started on
Sunday and ended on 1onday.  In this connection, the applicable
provisions of the Collective bargaining Agreement of July 28, 1969
(Article VII, section 6, Sunday Pay), provided that all work per-
formed on Sunday would be paid at 150 percent of the basic hourly
rate.  This rate applied to all work performed on Sunday regardless
of whether it was overtime or within the basic workweek. This
provision was supplemented by CINCPACREPPiIIL Instruction 12000.1C,
Filipino Employment Policy Instruction, May 7, 1970, which indicated
that  Sunday pay is for work performed on Sunday between 0001 hours
and  2400 hours. The Air Force informs us that it now pays a Sunday
