Administrative establishment of salary differentials.
Section 7
SEC. 7. Administrative establishment of salary differentials.—Whenever the Secretary shall find and declare that the rates of salary provided for Foreign Service staff officers and employees in this Act are inadequate for any positions allocated to any particular class, he may, under such regulations as he may prescribe with the approval of the President, establish necessary schedules of differentials in the rates of salary prescribed for such class, but the differential in salary of a person holding any such position shall not exceed twenty-five per centum of the salary he would otherwise receive. Such differentials shall be granted only with respect to positions at posts at which extraordinarily difficult living conditions or excessive physical hardship prevail or at which notably unhealthful conditions exist. The Secretary shall prepare and maintain a list of such posts. PART D.—COMPENSATION OF OFFICERS TEMPORARY IN CHARGE
