DEFENSE DEPARTMENT TEACHERS (Last Updated 1/14/2001)
710 GENERAL
Under the general provisions of Chapter 000 and the modifying provisions
of this chapter, a teacher (Section 040n) who is assigned to a teaching
position at a post (Section 040h) may be granted quarters allowances in
accordance with Chapter 100, cost-of-living allowances in accordance with
Chapter 200, be paid a post differential in accordance with Chapter 500, and
may be paid a difficult to staff incentive differential in accordance with
Chapter 1000.
720 ALLOWANCES - SPECIAL RULES
721 Commencement of Grant After Early Arrival
Where a teacher who is not entitled to a living quarters allowance under
Section 723.1 for personal convenience arrives at the post in advance of the
date normally scheduled by the agency, the date of arrival for commencement of
any quarters allowance grant shall be considered to be the date after actual
arrival on which they enter into pay status in a teaching position.
722 Termination of Grant
An allowance grant (except a quarters allowance grant provided for under
Section 723), not otherwise terminated under applicable sections of these
regulations, shall terminate at the end of the teacher's required work status
in a teaching position at the post, including any period of authorized annual
leave with pay immediately following such status.
723 Quarters Allowances
723.1 Continuation During Recess Period
The living quarters allowance grant authorized under Section 130 shall be
continued during the recess period immediately preceding the next school year
for a teacher who is in a teaching position at the close of a school year and
who agrees in writing to serve as a teacher for the next school year. If, however, a teacher who has agreed in
writing to serve as a teacher for the next school year does not report for
service at the beginning of that school year, they shall, except for reasons
beyond their control and acceptable to the Department of Defense, be obligated
to the United States in an amount equal to any quarters allowance which they
may have received during the recess period, or in an amount equal to the
reasonable value of any Government quarters which they occupied, or the storage
which they were furnished during that period, or both, as the case may be in
accordance with Section 7 of the Defense Department Overseas Teachers Pay and
Personnel Practices Act (P.L. 86-91), as amended by P.L. 87-172.
723.2 Continuation While Awaiting Authorized Transportation
The living quarters allowance grant may be continued through the date of
departure from the post for a teacher who, at any time and regardless of pay
status, is required to await authorized transportation. As an alternative, a temporary lodging
allowance (Section 120) may be paid for a period not in excess of one month
prior to final departure from the post.
723.3 Limitation During Recess Period
The Government quarters or storage furnished, in accordance with the law
cited in Section 723.1, or quarters allowance granted, to a teacher shall be in
lieu of any quarters or quarters allowances to which they otherwise might be
entitled by reason of employment in another position during any recess period
between two school years.
724 Cost-of-Living Allowances
724.1 Annual Salary Computation
The annual basic compensation of a summer school teacher shall be
computed by multiplying their daily rate of pay by 260.
724.2 Basis for Cost-of-Living Allowances During Recess Period
If a teacher is employed in another Government position during any recess
period between two school years, any post allowance for which they are
otherwise eligible under these regulations shall be based upon the salary of
the position in which they are employed during such recess period.
724.3 Post Allowance
In computing post allowance for teachers paid on a school year basis,
divide the total annual amount of post allowance payable from the appropriate
table in Section 229.1 by the number of calendar days in the school year to
obtain a daily rate. Multiply the daily
rate by the number of calendar days in the pay period (normally 14).
