# 5 U.S.C. § 5901 - Uniform allowances
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) There is authorized to be appropriated annually to each agency of the Government of the United States, including a Government owned corporation, and of the government of the District of Columbia, on a showing of necessity or desirability, such sums as may be necessary to carry out this subchapter. The head of the agency concerned, out of funds made available by the appropriation, shall—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) furnish to each of these employees a uniform at a cost not to exceed $400 a year (or such higher maximum amount as the Office of Personnel Management may establish under section 5902); or
|
||||
|
||||
(2) pay to each of these employees an allowance for a uniform not to exceed $400 a year (or such higher maximum amount as the Office of Personnel Management may establish under section 5902).
|
||||
|
||||
The allowance may be paid only at the times and in the amounts authorized by the regulations prescribed under section 5903 of this title. When the agency pays direct to the uniform vendor, the head of the agency may deduct a service charge of not more than 4 percent.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) When the furnishing of a uniform or the payment of a uniform allowance is authorized under another statute or regulation existing on September 1, 1954, the head of the agency concerned may continue the furnishing of the uniform or the payment of the uniform allowance under that statute or regulation, but in that event a uniform may not be furnished or allowance paid under this section.
|
||||
|
||||
(c) An allowance paid under this section is not wages within the meaning of section 409 of title 42 or chapters 21 and 24 of title 26.

||||

# 5 U.S.C. § 5922 - General provisions
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) Notwithstanding section 5536 of this title and except as otherwise provided by this subchapter, the allowances and differentials authorized by this subchapter may be granted to an employee officially stationed in a foreign area—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) who is a citizen of the United States; and
|
||||
|
||||
(2) whose rate of basic pay is fixed by statute or, without taking into consideration the allowances and differentials provided by this subchapter, is fixed by administrative action pursuant to law or is fixed administratively in conformity with rates paid by the Government for work of a comparable level of difficulty and responsibility in the continental United States.
|
||||
|
||||
To the extent authorized by a provision of statute other than this subchapter, the allowances and differentials provided by this subchapter may be paid to an employee officially stationed in a foreign area who is not a citizen of the United States.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Allowances granted under this subchapter may be paid in advance, or advance of funds may be made therefor, through the proper disbursing official in such sums as are considered advisable in consideration of the need and the period of time during which expenditures must be made in advance by the employee. An advance of funds not subsequently covered by allowances accrued to the employee under this subchapter is recoverable by the Government by—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) setoff against accrued pay, compensation, amount of retirement credit, or other amount due the employee from the Government; and
|
||||
|
||||
(2) such other method as is provided by law for the recovery of amounts owing to the Government.
|
||||
|
||||
The head of the agency concerned, under regulations of the President, may waive in whole or in part a right of recovery under this subsection, if it is shown that the recovery would be against equity and good conscience or against the public interest.
|
||||
|
||||
(c) The allowances and differentials authorized by this subchapter shall be paid under regulations prescribed by the President governing—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) payments of the allowances and differentials and the respective rates at which the payments are made;
|
||||
|
||||
(2) the foreign areas, the groups of positions, and the categories of employees to which the rates apply; and
|
||||
|
||||
(3) other related matters.
|
||||
|
||||
(d) When a quarters allowance or allowance related to education under this subchapter, or quarters furnished in Government-owned or controlled buildings under section 5912, would be furnished to an employee but for the death of the employee, such allowances or quarters may be furnished or continued for the purpose of allowing any child of the employee to complete the current school year at post or away from post notwithstanding the employee’s death.
|
||||
|
||||
(e) When an allowance related to education away from post under this subchapter would be authorized with respect to an employee but for the evacuation or authorized departure status of the post, such an allowance may be furnished or continued for the purpose of allowing any dependent children of such employee to complete the current school year.
|
||||
|
||||
(f) (1) If an employee dies at post in a foreign area, a transfer allowance under section 5924(2)(B) may be granted to the spouse or dependents of such employee (or both) for the purpose of providing for their return to the United States.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) A transfer allowance under this subsection may not be granted with respect to the spouse or a dependent of the employee unless, at the time of death, such spouse or dependent was residing—
|
||||
|
||||
(A) at the employee’s post of assignment; or
|
||||
|
||||
(B) at a place, outside the United States, for which a separate maintenance allowance was being furnished under section 5924(3).
|
||||
|
||||
(3) The President may prescribe any regulations necessary to carry out this subsection.

||||

# 5 U.S.C. § 5925 - Post differentials
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
(a) A post differential may be granted on the basis of conditions of environment which differ substantially from conditions of environment in the continental United States and warrant additional pay as a recruitment and retention incentive. A post differential may be granted to an employee officially stationed in the United States who is on extended detail in a foreign area. A post differential under this subsection may not exceed 35 percent of the rate of basic pay.
|
||||
|
||||
(b) Any employee granted a differential under subsection (a) of this section may be granted an additional differential for an assignment to a post determined to have especially adverse conditions of environment which warrant additional pay as a recruitment and retention incentive for the filling of positions at that post. An additional differential for any employee under this subsection—
|
||||
|
||||
(1) may be paid for each assignment to a post determined to have such conditions;
|
||||
|
||||
(2) may be paid periodically or in a lump sum; and
|
||||
|
||||
(3) may not exceed 15 percent of the rate of basic pay of that employee for the period served under that assignment.
|
||||
|
||||

# 5 U.S.C. § 5928 - Danger pay allowance
|
||||
|
||||
## Text
|
||||
|
||||
An employee serving in a foreign area may be granted a danger pay allowance on the basis of civil insurrection, civil war, terrorism, or wartime conditions which threaten physical harm or imminent danger to the health or well-being of the employee. A danger pay allowance may not exceed 35 percent of the basic pay of the employee, except that if an employee is granted an additional differential under section 5925(b) of this title with respect to an assignment, the sum of that additional differential and any danger pay allowance granted to the employee with respect to that assignment may not exceed 35 percent of the basic pay of the employee. The presence of nonessential personnel or dependents shall not preclude payment of an allowance under this section. In each instance where an allowance under this section is initiated or terminated, the Secretary of State shall inform the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate of the action taken and the circumstances justifying it.
