§10206 — Title 5 Government Organization and Employees | U.S. Code

Summary

If a job is called a technician position under section 10202(a)(3), the person in that job must get extra pay equal to 6% of their basic pay plus any locality pay. They get this extra pay starting when the job is so classified and keep getting it until the job stops being a technician job or the person leaves the job. The extra pay is paid at the same time and in the same way as regular pay. The extra pay counts as basic pay for most purposes, including under section 8401(4), except it does not count as basic pay for sections 5304 or 7511(a)(4). Losing the extra pay is not treated as an adverse action under section 7512.
