President Biden on Thursday issued an executive order implementing his plan to provide civilian federal workers with an average 5.2% pay raise next month.
As first proposed in his fiscal 2024 budget plan last March, the increase amounts to a 4.7% across-the-board boost to basic pay, alongside an average 0.5% increase in locality pay. As authorized in the fiscal 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, which Biden is expected to sign this week, military service personnel also will see an average 5.2% pay raise next year.
An average 5.2% pay increase marks the largest authorized for federal workers since the Carter administration adopted a 9.1% average raise in 1980, as well as a 0.6% increase over last year’s raise, which itself marked a 20-year high.
On top of the historic pay increase, tens of thousands of federal employees will see a slightly larger increase than expected, thanks to a slew of recent changes in the locality pay system. Last year, the President’s Pay Agent, a body made up of Office of Personnel Management Director Kiran Ahuja, Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young and Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su, approved the creation of four new locality pay areas. And the body finally adopted plans to update the map of locality pay areas using new OMB data, adding dozens of counties to existing locality pay areas.
The Office of Personnel Management must now publish pay tables outlining the pay raise across all General Schedule pay grades and locality pay areas. Once updated, they will be available on the agency’s website.
The pay raise will go into effect for the first full pay period of 2024, which for most feds begins Jan. 14.
BIGGER government. repre$entative.
Old people get what????
Of course, they gave themselves a raise. Odd that We, the People are their bosses yet the employees can write their own checks and not do their jobs. We’re dumb bosses.
And yet, it still doesn’t keep up with Bidenflation.
This is a loyalty reminder for the election.
These people are to provide favorable ballots by any means necessary. Some of these people help print and distribute the blank ballots.
bttt
Agree 100%.
Do it before Javier Milei addresses a GOP congress.
Must be an election year and Brandon must be in big trouble.
Trump should definitely be able to use this.
95% of the federal employees I personally know deserve to be fired for incompetency. Giving them a raise is the last thing they deserve.
Does this raise go to VA Employees? Anyone know?
After all my insurance going up, my SS raise will not help at all. I’ll be going $4.47/month in hole compared to last year.
“The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced that the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2024 will be 3.2 percent, effective from January 2024 for more than 71 million Americans who receive Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.”
