A revision to “administratively uncontrollable overtime” policy at DHS may be only the first step in larger reforms not only there but also government-wide, following further revelations of questionable use of the policy. AUO substitutes for payment for irregular, unscheduled overtime work by law enforcement officers and can add as much as 25 percent to a regular salary rate, depending on how much extra time the position demands. However, both the House and Senate have held hearings recently into findings by the Office of Special Counsel pointing out regular receipt of such pay by DHS employees, particularly at Customs and Border Protection, not involved in daily law enforcement activities. DHS has said it will suspend the pay for certain headquarters employees and trainers as well as for certain positions questioned by a DHS internal audit—and it has left the door open for further restrictions. Some 28,000 DHS employees currently receive AUO pay. Instances of questionable spending at one agency tend to trigger similar investigations at other agencies. Also, the events have spurred a proposed Senate bill for government-wide reform of the AUO policy. The plan in effect would offer eligible employees the choice of working an 80-hour pay period with up to 20 hours of overtime, a 90-hour period with up to 10 hours of overtime, or a 100-hour period with no overtime.
