For monthly or yearly pay, a month counts as one-twelfth of annual pay and a day as one-thirtieth of monthly pay. Special rules apply to the 31st day, starting work partway through a month, and employees paid under section 5504(b).
The pay period for a United States employee whose pay is monthly or annual is one calendar month. (1) Monthly pay is one-twelfth of yearly pay. (2) Daily pay is one-thirtieth of monthly pay. (3) The 31st day is ignored when computing pay, except that one day’s pay is lost for one day of unauthorized absence on that day. (4) For every day in the month before the person entered government service, one day’s pay is deducted from the first month’s pay. This section does not apply to an employee whose pay is computed under section 5504(b).
