The Board may authorize the Chief to pay an allowance to an

officer or employee of the United States Capitol Police if -

the rate of basic pay of the officer or employee, may not exceed

(3) Payment not considered part of basic pay

A retention allowance may not be considered to be part of the

basic pay of an officer or employee, and the reduction or

elimination of a retention allowance may not be appealed. The

preceding sentence shall not be construed to extinguish or lessen

any right or remedy under any of the laws made applicable to the

Capitol Police pursuant to section 1302 of this title.

the same time and in the same manner as the officer's or

step who has demonstrated extraordinary performance (in

accordance with criteria established by the Chief or the Chief's

designee) may be advanced in compensation to the second next

higher service step, effective with the first pay period which
