3 U.S.C. § 114 — General pay limitation

This section sets a pay ceiling for some White House employees. It applies to workers in the White House Office, the Executive Residence at the White House, the Domestic Policy Staff, and the Office of Administration. It also applies to employees who work for the Vice President under section 106 of this title. None of these employees can be paid a basic pay rate higher than the lowest rate paid for GS-16 on the General Schedule, which is set out in section 5332 of title 5. This cap applies no matter what any other law says, except for other provisions within this same chapter.
