Were you a part-time DeCA employee between May 26, 2003 and May 26, 2009? Did your work schedule during that time require you to work on Sundays?
If you are a current or former part-time employee and answered yes to both of those questions, you may submit a claim for a lump sum payment of Sunday premium pay.
Claims must be made in writing using either the Current Employee Form Packet or the Former Employee Form Packet.
To support your claim, you must provide proof that establishes the dates you worked that included Sundays and that you worked part time during the claim period on a regularly scheduled tour of duty. If you or someone else is filing a claim on behalf of another person, a copy of a Power of Attorney also must be attached to the claim.
Examples of supporting documents include, but are not limited to, an SF 50, Notification of Personnel Action, indicating part-time status; biweekly work schedules; time and attendance records; or other documentation, such as a sworn affidavit stating you were scheduled and did actually work on Sundays during the period claimed.
Completed forms and documentation may be e-mailed to SundayPremium@deca.mil; faxed to (804) 734-8009, extension 72917; or sent by certified mail to:
Defense Commissary AgencyAbout DeCA: The Defense Commissary Agency operates a worldwide chain of commissaries providing groceries to military personnel, retirees and their families in a safe and secure shopping environment. Authorized patrons purchase items at cost plus a 5–percent surcharge, which covers the costs of building new commissaries and modernizing existing ones. Shoppers save an average of more than 30 percent on their purchases compared to commercial prices – savings amounting to thousands of dollars annually. A core military family support element, and a valued part of military pay and benefits, commissaries contribute to family readiness, enhance the quality of life for America’s military and their families, and help recruit and retain the best and brightest men and women to serve their country.
