FEMA determines the eligibility of overtime, premium pay, and compensatory time costs based on the applicant’s predisaster written labor policy, provided it complies with FEMA policy. When an applicant’s budgeted employees perform emergency work, only overtime labor is eligible for reimbursement through the PA grant program. The Applicant submitted the predisaster written labor policy and labor report summaries, timesheets, and activity reports supporting its claim for SCL associated with its FAL overtime labor for emergency work performed.

The Applicant’s SCL request associated with straight-time labor is denied. However, the Applicant has demonstrated the SCL costs it incurred by budgeted employees performing emergency work during overtime are eligible. Accordingly, the appeal is partially granted for $4,367,664.75.
