1999 BIWEEKLY PAY CAP ON PREMIUM PAY FOR
REGULAR GS EMPLOYEES

GS employees (excluding law enforcement officers) may be paid certain types of premium pay in a pay period only to the extent that the aggregate of basic pay and premium pay for the pay period does not exceed the biweekly rate for GS-15, step 10 (including any applicable special salary rate or locality rate of pay). (See 5 U.S.C. 5547(a) and 5 CFR 550.105.) The table below provides the biweekly pay cap amounts applicable to all GS employees, except those (1) for which there is a higher GS-15, step 10, special rate or (2) who are law enforcement officers under 5 U.S.C. 5541 and 5 CFR 550.103. These rates are effective as of the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning on or after January 1, 1999.
