H.R. 6218 creates a limited exception to federal overtime pay restrictions for Diplomatic Security special agents who perform protective services. Currently, federal law caps how much premium pay these agents can receive, but this bill allows covered employees to receive additional overtime compensation if Congress specifically funds it through an appropriations bill. The extra overtime pay would not count toward the agents' basic salary for retirement calculations or affect their annual leave payouts, and it would not be included in their total aggregate compensation limits. The bill requires that any such additional funding be explicitly approved in annual appropriations legislation, meaning there is no automatic increase in spending.
