Federal agencies may employ experts and consultants temporarily or intermittently without regard to civil service and classification laws. Those employed under the authorizing statute (5 U.S.C. 3109), however, may not be paid more than the daily equivalent of the highest rate paid under the General Schedule (GS) established for Federal employees.
