MEMO/RAPID bit FOR THE RECORD
SUILIECT: Haaardous Ditt-y Paw
1. H.R. 1535 was r.p.rt?ed to the Hesse and on 10 February,
it passed.
Z. in essence, the bill would authorise the Civil Service
Commissieo to promulgate regulations establishing hazardous fist/
pay for -mussel physical hardship performed an an irregular or
intermittent basis. The premium pay cannot exceed 25 per cent of
basic compensation and is sot applicable when tbaa physical hardhip
or hazard is taken into account In classifying the employee's position
(assuming Ode le done when unusual physical hardship or hazard is
a condition of employment on a regular basis).
3. Although not required to do so. the Agency, as a matter
of policy, has adopted the pity provisions of the Classification Act
of 19419. However, by doing this. the Agency has not exhausted its
legal authority to provide for additional compensation under t va.riety
of circumetances sad outside of the Classification Act. Since the
Agency has used its legal authority in this matter sparingly and
primarily ha thee. instances which typify the used for unique solutions
to unique Agency problems, the passage of H. R. 1335 could not help
but provide *mad underpinnings for the Agency's adoption of a
premium pay polity for wattaual, irregular, and intermittent hazardous
duty. la this case it is assumed that we would adept the rules and
regulations issued by the Civil Service Commie/lion

4. The House Bill and report have been sent to OTR, MP,
and DI Personnel. The bill in no way limits our legal authority with
respect to the payment of compensation. As pointed out in the preceding
paragraph, it may well have the practical effect of broadening our
scheme of compensation payments. A most interesting point aside
from these considerations is found in the House Report. The report
assumed that positions requiring the performausce of hazardous duty
on a continuous basis are classified so that an increment of compen-
sation is paid in recognition of this hazard.
