Summary

Each agency head must set up a way to check the payment records for any employee getting pay under sections 5522 or 5523. They must change the payment amounts so they match the pay, allowances, and extra pay the employee would have been entitled to under the normal pay law for each period if the employee had been on active duty in the job held just before the evacuation order, and must add any extra amounts the President allows under section 5523(b).
