Bill Summary
A BILL To expand eligibility for special overtime pay to U.S. Border Patrol agents classified above grade GS-12.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to expand overtime pay eligibility for U.S. Border Patrol agents who are classified at higher grades (specifically grades GS-12 through GS-15). Currently, only Border Patrol agents at grade GS-12 are eligible for special overtime rates, but this legislation would extend that benefit to agents in supervisory positions ranked GS-12 to GS-15. The change is intended to improve retention of experienced Border Patrol supervisors by providing them with additional compensation for regularly scheduled overtime work. The bill amends existing law by modifying the language in Section 5550(h) of Title 5 of the United States Code, replacing references to "GS-12" with a broader range of grades "GS-12 through GS-15". This adjustment recognizes the demanding nature of Border Patrol work and aims to provide better financial recognition for higher-ranked agents who frequently work extended hours.
