The Dual Compensation Act prohibits an individual from receiving pay from more than one position for more than an aggregate of forty (40)
hours of work in one calendar week. This prohibition applies to employees paid from either appropriated or non-appropriated funds, or a
combination thereof, and includes temporary, part-time, flex-time, and intermittent appointments.
Federal Benefits: Temporary, intermittent appointments without an established regular tour of duty are excluded by regulation from leave accrual, health insurance, life insurance, and retirement benefits.

Ordinarily Resident restrictions apply and vary depending on the host nation.
