No such limiting provision appears in Title II. In view of this and since Congress provided holiday premium pay in excess of 8 hours to employees covered by Title II but retained the limit on holiday premium pay to 8 hours for employees under Title I, OPM's determination is in accordance with the law. This decision, requested by Mr. H. 0. Miller, Accounting and Finance Officer, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), concerns the legality of DLA employees receiving 10 paid hours off for holidays incident to their being scheduled to work four 10-hour days under Title II of the Federal Employees' Flexible and Compressed Work Schedules Act of 1978, Public law 95-390, September 29, 1978. 372 FACTS Mr. Miller states tfiat on September 30, 1979, the Accounting and Finance Division, Office of the Comptroller, Headquarters, DIA, began participating in a compressed work schedule experiment under the Federal Employees Flexible and Compressed Work Schedules Act of 1978. The work schedule provides for four 10-hour work- days each week. Mr. Miller states that in accordance with guidance furnished by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), - employees on the compressed 4-day workweek will receive 10 hours off on a holiday. See Attachment to Federal Personnel Manual (FPM) Letter 620-2 (11-3), June 4, 1979. Thus, they would only work 30 hours during a week in which a holiday occurred. Mr. Miller points out that in the normal 5-day, 8-hour week employees get 8 hours off and work 32 hours when a holiday occurs during that week. I1I1I 12-- §4e 11A 7zzl , __VVC/j L/ _
