Subsection (a) is supplied to avoid the necessity of defining “employee” each time it appears in this title. The subsection is based on a definition worked out independently by the Civil Service Commission and the Department of Labor and in use by both for more than a decade.
In subsection (d), the words “officer or” are omitted as included within “employee”.
The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, referred to in subsec. (c)(1)(C), is act June 25, 1938, ch. 676, 52 Stat. 1060, as amended, which is classified generally to chapter 8 (§ 201 et seq.) of Title 29, Labor. For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see section 201 of Title 29 and Tables.
2006—Subsec. (e). Pub. L. 109–435substituted “Postal Regulatory Commission” for “Postal Rate Commission”.
1997—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 105–85inserted “(if any)” after “Academy dairy”.
1996—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 104–201inserted “who is” after “An individual” and “and whose employment in such a position began before October 1, 1996, and has been uninterrupted in such a position since that date” after “Academy dairy,”.
1994—Subsec. (f). Pub. L. 103–424added subsec. (f).
1993—Subsec. (c)(1)(E). Pub. L. 103–3added subpar. (E).
1990—Subsec. (c)(1). Pub. L. 101–508, § 7202(b)(1), amended par. (1) generally. Prior to amendment, par. (1) read as follows: “laws (other than subchapter IV of chapter 53 of this title, subchapter III of chapter 83 of this title to the extent provided in section 8332
(b)(16) of this title, and sections 5550 and 7204 of this title) administered by the Office of Personnel Management; or”.
Subsec. (c)(2). Pub. L. 101–508, § 7202(b)(2), inserted “(except to the extent specifically provided therein)” after “chapter 84”.
1986—Subsec. (c)(1). Pub. L. 99–638inserted “of this title, subchapter III of chapter 83 of this title to the extent provided in section 8332
(b)(16) of this title,”.

L. 95–454appear to have been inadvertently reversed. Subsec. (c)(1) purported to amend subsec. (c)(1) of this section, and subsec. (c)(2) purported to amend section 3302
(2) of this title. However, the amendments specified by Pub. L. 95–454, § 703(c)(1) and (2), were impossible to execute literally. Thus, the amendment by Pub. L. 95–454, § 703(c)(2) was executed to this section, and the amendment by section 703
(c)(1) was executed to section 3302
(2) of this title as the probable intent of Congress.
