§707a Payment upon disapproval of certain board of inquiry recommendations for excess leave required to be taken

Summary

Pays an officer who was forced to take leave that was counted as excess leave and whose board-recommended removal from active duty was not approved. The officer is treated as having earned pay and allowances for each day of that required excess leave (except days already paid under another rule). The officer gets that pay minus any income they had during the same period (wages, salaries, tips, other personal service income, unemployment pay, and government public assistance). Payment must be made within 60 days after the Secretary decides not to remove the officer, unless the officer fails to give requested income information on time — then payment is due within 30 days after the officer provides the information. The Secretaries issue rules on how income is checked and may require tax returns or other documents.
