(a) Definition.--In this section, the term ``covered employee''

Secret Service who performs protective services for an individual or
event protected by the United States Secret Service during 2016.
(b) Exception to the Limitation on Premium Pay for Protective
Services.--
(1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law,
during 2016, section 5547(a) of title 5, United States Code,
shall not apply to any covered employee to the extent that its
application would prevent a covered employee from receiving
premium pay, as provided under the amendment made by paragraph
(2).
(2) Technical and conforming amendment.--Section 118 of the
Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 2001 (as
enacted into law by section 1(3) of Public Law 106-554; 114
Stat. 2763A-134) <>  is amended, in the
first sentence, by inserting ``or, if the employee qualifies for
an exception to such limitation under section 2(b)(1) of the
Overtime Pay for Protective Services Act of 2016, to the extent

payable for a position at level II of the Executive Schedule
under section 5313 of title 5, United States Code'' after ``of
that limitation''.

(c) Treatment of Additional Pay.--If subsection (b) results in the
payment of additional premium pay to a covered employee of a type that

that additional pay shall not--
(1) be considered to be basic pay of the covered employee
for any purpose; or
(2) be used in computing a lump-sum payment to the covered
employee for accumulated and accrued annual leave under section
5551 or section 5552 of title 5, United States Code.
