Sec. 304.105  Daily and biweekly basic pay limitations.

    (a) Unless specifically authorized by an appropriation or other 
statute, agencies subject to chapter 51 and subchapter III of chapter 53 
of title 5, United States Code, may not pay for any 1 day an aggregate 
amount of pay (including basic pay, locality pay under subpart F of part 
531 of this chapter, and premium pay under subpart A of

part 550 of this chapter) that exceeds the daily equivalent of the 
highest rate payable under 5 U.S.C. 5332--that is, the daily rate for 
GS-15, step 10, under the General Schedule (excluding locality pay or 
any other additional pay). The daily rate is computed by dividing the 
annual GS-15, step 10, rate by 2,087 hours to find the hourly rate of 
pay and by multiplying the hourly rate of pay by 8 hours.
    (b) Unless specifically authorized by an appropriation or other 
statute, an expert or consultant shall not be paid for any biweekly pay 
period an aggregate amount of pay (including basic pay, locality pay 
under subpart F of part 531 of this chapter, and premium pay under 
subpart A of part 550 of this chapter) in excess of the biweekly rate of 
pay for GS-15, step 10, under the General Schedule (excluding locality 
pay or any other additional pay). The biweekly rate is computed by 
dividing the annual GS-15, step 10, rate by 2,087 hours to find the 
hourly rate of pay and by multiplying the hourly rate of pay by 80 
hours.
