This bill, the Civil Service Federal Employee Serving Overseas Pay Equity Act, aims to provide locality pay to federal employees working overseas under domestic teleworking agreements. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It defines the terms "civil service," "covered employee" (an employee in the civil service working overseas under a Domestic Employee Teleworking Overseas agreement), "locality pay," "nonforeign area," and "overseas." 2. It requires that each covered employee be paid locality pay, which is the lesser of: (a) the amount the employee would have been paid had their official duty station not been changed to an overseas location, or (b) the amount an eligible member of the Foreign Service would be paid. 3. The locality pay must begin to be paid not later than [X] days after the date of the bill's enactment and must be treated the same as a locality-based comparability payment under existing law. The purpose of the bill is to ensure that federal civil servants working overseas under telework agreements receive equitable pay compared to their counterparts in the United States or eligible Foreign Service members.
