Compensation for temporary employment is regular pay for full-time employment for a limited period of time that is generally less than a year, for example, seasonal employment of employees with permanent appointments. It also includes regular pay for employees with term appointments and pay for employees whose tenure is without a specific time limitation, but not actually or potentially permanent, i.e., indefinite appointments. Compensation for intermittent employment is regular pay for consultants and other employees with appointments that require work on an irregular or occasional basis, with hours or days of work not based on a prearranged schedule.
Compensation is paid only for the time actually employed or services actually rendered.
Supervisory differential is pay above the basic rate to adjust the compensation of a supervisor to a level greater than the highest-paid subordinate. The differential applies to a General Schedule employee who supervises one or more employees not covered by the General Schedule and is not a part of the basic pay. Holiday pay is pay above the basic rate for services of 8 hours or less on holidays or days treated as holidays. Sunday pay is pay above the basic rate for 8 hours or less of regularly scheduled work performed on Sundays. Nightwork differential is pay above the basic rate for regularly scheduled nightwork.
