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.
