For emergency work; only overtime labor is eligible for budgeted employees; straight-time labor for budgeted employees is not eligible for reimbursement.Although the Applicant labor policy required it to provide compensatory time for the budgeted employees who performed emergency work during the campus closure; the employees were not incurring overtime hours but instead were working straight-time hours which are ineligible for PA funding.The claimed FAL costs are related to straight-time hours worked by the Applicant budgeted employees; they are not associated with overtime labor costs nor are they extraordinary costs for employees called back to work during administrative leave or a regularly scheduled day off to perform eligible emergency work. Therefore; they are ineligible for PA funding. Accordingly; this appeal is denied.
