Matter of: United States Secret Service Uniformed Division-Biweekly and
            Annual Pay Limitations

File:        B-256157

Date:     December 21, 1995

DIGEST

1. The compensation payable to members of the Uniformed Division of the United
States Secret Service is subject to two independent limitations on the biweekly and
aggregate annual compensation that each member is eligible to receive. The first
limitation is that compensation shall not exceed the rate of basic pay for level V of
the Executive Schedule. 4 D.C. Code, § 4-406 (1994). This limitation applies to
basic pay, as adjusted, plus longevity pay, but does not include premium pay.

2. The compensation payable to members of the Uniformed Division of the United
States Secret Service is subject to two independent limitations on the biweekly and
aggregate annual compensation that each member is eligible to receive. The second
limitation is that the aggregate rate of compensation for any pay period shall not
exceed the minimum scheduled rate of basic compensation of the District of
Columbia Chief of Police and Fire Chief. 4 D.C. Code, § 4-1104(h)(2) (1994). This
limitation applies to basic pay, as adjusted, plus premium pay (overtime pay,
compensatory time off, Sunday pay, and night pay), but does not include longevity
pay. The ceiling to be applied is the unadjusted minimum scheduled basic pay rate
of the Police Chief and Fire Chief in effect when the premium pay was earned.

Secret Service, Department of the Treasury.1 The questions asked involve the
maximum biweekly premium pay and aggregate annual compensation that may be
paid to members of the United States Secret Service Uniformed Division and the
types of compensation that are subject to the limitations. We conclude that there
are two independent limitations on the compensation which may be paid. Basic
pay, as adjusted, longevity pay, and assignment or position pay are subject to one
