Sec. 3962. Salaries of Senior Foreign Service members


(a) Prescription by President; basic salary rates; adjustments; 
        determinations by Secretary

    (1) The President shall prescribe salary classes for the Senior 
Foreign Service and shall prescribe an appropriate title for each class. 
The President shall also prescribe one or more basic salary rates for 
each class. Basic salary rates for the Senior Foreign Service may not 
exceed the maximum rate or be less than the minimum rate of basic pay 
payable for the Senior Executive Service under section 5382 of title 5, 
and shall be adjusted at the same time and in the same manner as rates 
of basic pay are adjusted for the Senior Executive Service.
    (2) The Secretary shall determine which of the basic salary rates 
prescribed by the President under paragraph (1) for any salary class 
shall be paid to each member of the Senior Foreign Service who is 
appointed to that class. The Secretary may adjust the basic salary rate 
of a member of the Senior Foreign Service not more than once during any 
12-month period.

(b) Career appointees in Senior Executive Service accepting limited 
        appointment in Senior Foreign Service; adjustment

    (1) An individual who is a career appointee in the Senior Executive 
Service receiving basic pay at one of the rates payable under section 
5382 of title 5 and who accepts a limited appointment in the Senior 
Foreign Service in a salary class for which the basic salary rate is 
less than such basic rate of pay, shall be paid a salary at his or her 
former basic rate of pay (with adjustments as provided in paragraph (2)) 
until the salary for his or her salary class in the Senior Foreign 
Service equals or exceeds the salary payable to such individual under 
this subsection.
    (2) The salary paid to an individual under this subsection shall be 
adjusted by 50 percent of each adjustment, which takes effect after the 
appointment of such individual to the Senior Foreign Service, in the 
basic rate of pay at which that individual was paid under section 5382 
of title 5 immediately prior to such appointment.
