Accomplishments

	Availability Pay The Association is directly responsible for the enactment in 1990 of a law which significantly increased the overtime pay computation for agents. The Association further acted to protect this new overtime formula with its active support for adoption of the current Availability Pay concept.
Due Process The Association's relentless struggle over many years led to a complete restructuring of the Bureau's administrative inquiry system. Basic due process rights were put in place for the first time in early 1997.	Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act With the help of relentless Association-initiated efforts, The Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act was passed in 1990. Association participation in the work of The National Advisory Commission on Law Enforcement and aggressive lobbying on Capitol Hill spearheaded action on this legislation and ensured that special provisions were included to address the needs of law enforcement. As a result, FBI Agents continue to reap the benefits of locality pay, increased entry-level pay, relocation bonuses, and other advantages
Memorial College Education Fund The Association is responsible for the establishment of a college trust fund for the children and spouses of deceased agents. This education assistance program has made a college education a reality for young people whose road to further learning might have been interrupted.	Retirement Source Tax Association lobbying efforts to pass a federal law invalidating state source taxes were successful. Now a retired agent may move to a state other than the state from which the agent retired, and not be concerned that the state in which the agent served will continue to levy an income tax on his/her pension.
Accelerated Grade Raises The Association strongly advocated the implementation of accelerated raises for Special Agents. The FBI agreed to this proposal in 1996 with the result that the time required for promotion to the GS-13 level was shortened from 7 years to 5 years.	Relocation Benefits Association officers participated with Bureau officials in the development of a package of more generous relocation expense reimbursements and allowances. More realistic and fair transfer allowances now apply, particularly on the sale and purchase of a home.
