Calculation of Pay rate

5 U.S.C. § 5318

denotes that starting at the beginning of the first pay period for any position under the Executive Schedule, the amount of pay will be adjusted and rounded to the nearest multiple of US $100.  If this amount is found to midway between multiples of US $100, then it will be rounded to the next highest multiple of US $100.

Executive Privilege

5 U.S.C. § 5317

allows the President at any time to appoint not more than 34 individuals to pay rates Level IV and V, provided that they are viewed as a necessary change to organization, management responsibility, or workload within a specific agency.
