Federal law enforcement officers would get full retirement credit for unpaid overtime hours.
Federal law enforcement officers would get full credit for unpaid overtime hours when their retirement pay is calculated. This bill would let them include premium pay that was previously capped, boosting their retirement annuities. They would need to make a payment or accept a smaller annuity upfront to do this.
Today, federal law enforcement officers often work overtime hours that are not paid due to existing pay caps, and these uncompensated hours do not count towards their retirement benefits. After this bill, these officers would be able to include those previously uncompensated premium pay hours in their retirement calculations for both CSRS and FERS, provided they make a lump-sum payment or choose an actuarial annuity reduction. Additionally, several other federal employee groups would become eligible for availability pay, and officers making the lump-sum payment would receive a tax credit.
