All,
Here is the message that the Agency sent out.
When will I get my paycheck for pay period 2019-04?
The payroll for pay period 2019-04 will be paid on February 26, 2019 (some financial institutions may make the deposit available earlier).
Why is the timing/process for this pay period different?
The FAA’s payroll processor (The Department of the Interior Business Center) established an early timecard submission cutoff for pay period 2019-04 on February 16, 2019, due to the Federal Holiday and potential lapse in appropriations. Normally the pay period cutoff for timecard submissions would have been February 19, 2019. During this timeframe, the FAA experienced technical difficulties with the MyAccess program, which allows employees to access CASTLE, the FAA’s timekeeping system.
What is the solution for this issue?
The MyAccess program was restored on the morning of February 15, 2019, however, many employees’ timesheets were not approved and processed. For those employees who did not have an approved T&A, the CASTLE system recorded a straight 80 hrs for PP2019-04. In these cases, amendments will be processed to record employees’ actual time worked as well as any overtime and other categories of premium pay in PP2019-05.
Not all facilities will be affected. This issue also does not extend to any previously owed differentials/premiums that were not paid due to the government shutdown.
Attached is an updated version of the Pay Calculator. There have been a few minor tweaks since it was originally briefed last week, to include details on the pay raise that was passed last week. The calculator, slide deck, and recording of the webinar are all available on the members side of the NATCA website (http://www.natca.org/pay-calculator).
