Summary

Agency heads must check the pay records of every employee who gets payments under sections 5522 or 5523. They must fix those payments so they match the pay rates, allowances, and pay differentials the employee would have gotten under other law for each covered period if they had been working in the job held just before the evacuation order, plus any extra amounts the President allows under section 5523(b).
