                  Subpart D--Payments During Evacuation
 
Sec. 550.404  Computation of advance payments and evacuation payments; time periods.

    (a) Payments shall be based on the rate of pay (including 
allowances, differentials, or other authorized payments) to which the 
employee was entitled immediately before the issuance of the order of 
evacuation. All deductions authorized by law, such as retirement or 
social security deductions, authorized allotments, Federal withholding 
taxes, and others, when applicable, shall be made before advance 
payments or evacuation payments are made.
    (b)(1) The amount of advance payments shall cover a time period not 
to exceed 30 days or a lesser number of days, as determined by the 
authorizing agency official.
    (2) Evacuation payments shall cover the period of time during which 
the order to evacuate remains in effect, unless terminated earlier, but 
shall not exceed 180 days. When feasible, evacuation payments shall be 
paid on the employee's regular pay days.
    (c) When an advance payment has been made to or for the account of 
an employee, the amount of the advance payment shall not diminish the 
amount of the evacuation payments that would otherwise be due the 
employee.
    (d)(1) For full-time and part-time employees, the amount of an 
advance payment or an evacuation payment shall be computed on the basis 
of the number of regularly scheduled workdays for the time period 
covered.
    (2) For intermittent employees, the amount of an advance payment or 
evacuation payment shall be computed on the basis of the number of days 
on which the employee would be expected to work during the time period 
covered. The number of days shall be determined, whenever possible, by 
approximating the number of days per week normally worked by the 
employee during an average 6-week period, as determined by the agency.
