§2390 — Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse | U.S. Code

Summary

Federal employees can be sent to work for a foreign government or an international organization under the normal assignment rules. The assignment can happen in four ways: with no payment by the foreign government or organization; with the foreign party agreeing to repay the U.S. for the employee’s pay, travel, benefits, or part of those costs and that money (including foreign currency) going back to the same government account that paid them; by a President‑approved advance of funds, property, or services that can be kept in a special Treasury fund for the agreed uses and returned if unused; or by taking a credit that lowers the U.S. share of the organization’s expenses based on the employee’s pay and costs.
