§10206 Technician Positions

Summary

Members in jobs called technician positions under section 10202(a)(3) must get an extra amount equal to 6 percent of their basic pay plus any locality-based pay. They get that extra pay on the same schedule and in the same way they get their regular pay. The extra pay stops if the job is no longer a technician position or if the member leaves the job. That extra 6 percent usually counts as basic pay for all purposes, including under section 8401(4). It does not count as basic pay for section 5304 or section 7511(a)(4). If a member loses the extra pay, that loss is not treated as an adverse action under section 7512.
