  Subpart D--Separate Maintenance Allowance for Duty at Johnston Island
 
Sec. 591.404  Method of payment.

    (a) Separate maintenance allowance rates are paid from the 
employee's date of arrival at Johnston Island to the employee's date of 
departure from Johnston Island. No deductions are necessary for details 
away from Johnston Island or for partial days. The separate maintenance 
allowance shall be computed and paid at daily rates as follows:
    (1) Divide the annual rate of payment by the number of days in the 
applicable calendar year to obtain a daily rate (counting one half-cent 
and over as a whole cent);
    (2) Multiply the daily rate by 14 to obtain a biweekly rate; and
    (3) Multiply the daily rate by the number of days involved to obtain 
the rate for any period.
    (b) A separate maintenance allowance is not part of an employee's 
rate of basic pay for any purpose.
    (c) The rate for any pay period shall be computed at the daily rate 
applicable on the first day of that pay period.
