Law Enforcement Availability Pay


Law Enforcement Availability Pay is, per the United States Office of Personnel Management, a type of premium pay that is paid to Federal law enforcement officers who are classified as GS-1811, criminal investigator or special agent. Due to the nature of their work, criminal investigators are required to work, or be available to work, substantial amounts of "unscheduled duty." Availability pay is generally an entitlement that an agency must provide if the required conditions are met, but is optional in any agency's Office of the Inspector General that may employ fewer than five criminal investigators.
