For emergency work, except in limited circumstances, the straight-time of an applicant’s budgeted employees performing emergency work is not eligible. The Applicant’s employees performed only straight-time labor, so the claimed straight-time (and associated fringe benefits) force account labor costs for budgeted employees performing claimed emergency work are not eligible. Extraordinary costs (such as call-back pay) for essential employees who are called back to duty during administrative leave to perform eligible emergency work are eligible if the costs are paid in accordance with a labor policy that meets certain criteria. The Applicant’s employees were not called back to duty during administrative leave.

The claimed costs for unused leave are ineligible. Therefore, this appeal is denied.
