The U.S. Customs Service and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)use different provisions to calculate pay for officers. Fundamental differences in how work is scheduled and how hours are counted also result in pay differences. For overtime, Sunday, and holiday work, Customs officers are generally paid for hours worked, whereas INS officers are often paid on the basis of minimum periods of time worked. Night pay is also fundamentally different. Foreign language awards and the inclusion of overtime pay in calculating retirement benefits are other examples of pay provisions that apply to Customs officers but not to INS officers. Because Customs and INS schedule work differently, it is difficult to compare the two systems and to analyze the effects of differences on officers' pay. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-21/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-21.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-21/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-21.pdf GAO-02-21 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-02-21 Other Written Product GAO-02-21; Customs and INS: Comparison of Officers' Pay; Holiday pay Labor force Overtime compensation Comparative analysis Customs Service Overtime and Scheduling System Title 8 Section 1101 8 U.S.C. 1101 Title 19 Section 267 19 U.S.C. 267 Volume 36 Page 899 36 Stat. 899 Volume 46 Page 1467 46 Stat. 1467 Public Law 103-66
