2 U.S.C. § 142k — Library of Congress disbursing office; payroll processing functions

Starting October 1, 1989, the Librarian of Congress must take appropriate action so that no legislative branch employee is adversely affected. This protection applies to any employee whose salary the Library of Congress's disbursing office pays. It specifically covers alternative ways of performing the personnel and payroll processing function — meaning if the Library changes how it handles payroll, a covered employee should not come out worse off because of that change.
