                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION PROGRAMS, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 10_CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION UNDER THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION 
ACT, AS AMENDED--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart C_Continuation of Pay
 
Sec. 10.217  Is COP charged if the employee continues to work, but in 
a different job that pays less?

    If the employee cannot perform the duties of his or her regular 
position, but instead works in another job with different duties with no 
loss in pay, then COP is not chargeable. COP must be paid and the days 
counted against the 45 days authorized by law whenever an actual 
reduction of pay results from the injury, including a reduction of pay 
for the employee's normal administrative workweek that results from a 
change or diminution in his or her duties following an injury. However, 
this does not include a reduction of pay that is due solely to an 
employer being prohibited by law from paying extra pay to an employee 
for work he or she does not actually perform.
