Sec. 706.15  Indebtedness.



    An employee shall pay each just financial obligation in a proper and 

timely manner, especially one imposed by law such as Federal, State, or 

local taxes. For the purpose of this section, a just financial 

obligation means one acknowledged by the employee or reduced to judgment 

by a court, and in a proper and timely manner means in a manner that the 

agency determines does not, under the circumstances, reflect adversely 

on the Government as the employer. In the event of dispute between an 

employee and an alleged creditor, this section does not require the 

Commission to determine the validity or amount of the disputed debt.
