§1933 — Title 2 The Congress | U.S. Code

Summary

When a United States Capitol Police officer or employee leaves their job, they may not get a lump-sum payment for unused compensatory time except as allowed under section 1313(c)(4) of this title. For overtime worked on or after March 4, 2010, the Chief of the Capitol Police can pay exempt employees with extra pay or compensatory time only if the overtime is for special circumstances, the Chief sets a cash value for that overtime, and the overtime pay plus regular pay in that pay period does not exceed the legal annual pay cap when allocated per pay period under the Capitol Police Board’s premium-pay rules. Exempt individual — a Capitol Police officer or employee who is classified by regulation as exempt from certain pay-and-overtime protections, or whose annual pay rate is not set by law. The change is treated as if added to the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2003, but does not apply to overtime done before March 4, 2010.
