The General Pay section of this web site is intended to provide a useful quick reference on selected pay topics for human resources personnel. 

The material, excerpted from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), isn't intended to be exhaustive but to serve as a backdrop for examples and illustrative material cited. Because it deals selectively with regulatory material on highly technical subjects, the CFR, Parts 530 to 595, should also be consulted.
