Mendenhall Assistant Administrator for Management, Policy, and Budget General Services Administration Washington, D.C. 20405 Dear Ms. Mendenhall: Jf__1'4 em Further reference is made to yourletter of July 6, 1979, concerning whether current law requires that pay periods of heads of agencies be monthly rather than biweeklj. Your letter frames the inquiry against the following background information: Currently, the General Services Administration (GSA) administers its own payroll system as well as the systems of thirty other agencies under Economy Act agreements, 31 U.S.C. § 686. The Administrator of General Services and the heads of six of the thirty commissions serviced by GSA are paid semimonthly, an approved derivation of monthly pay periods, 47 Comp. Gen. 485 (1968). GSA processes biweekly pay checks by computer and prepares semimonthly pay checks by hand. The Federal Maritime Commission, one of the six commissions whose commissioners are paid semi- monthly by GSA, has requested that its commissioners be paid biweekly. If GSA can pay heads of agencies biweekly, GSA will eliminate manual preparation of checks and oblige the Federal Maritime Commission. GSA, however, is reluctant to begin paying all employees biweekly without your express approval. Although the reason that heads of agencies are paid monthly or semimothly is obscure, it may still be valid. However, we believe the substance of your inquiry specif- ically addresses the applicable statutory standards for pay
