“Which Federal Employees don’t make $15 an Hour?”

I may be mistaken but I believe it pertains to contracted employee. It’s written in the govt contract that all employees working on the project must be paid $15

I remember that when it went to $10/hr

Are their union contracts tethered to an increase in min. wage?
As when the min wage goes up ie $3, all fed wages increase $3.

A GS-1, Step one’s year’s pay is $19,738. With 2080 hours in a year, that includes paid holidays and 2 weeks leave, it equal $9.49 per hour. I don’t think I ever saw a Fed Job that was advertised to start as GS-1. That was usually the wage that a part time intern/summer hire received.

Here is the GS pay schedule: https://www.federalpay.org/gs/2021

Some years ago, there was, and there may still be, a separate pay wage based upon skills, like a union job and not GS. Perhaps someone can find it.

An Army E-5 with two or fewer years of service makes a base pay of about $14.24 an hour. A fuzzy (E-1) is right at $10 an hour.

Granted, this doesn’t include food/housing allowances, but those are entitlements/reimbursements, they are not counted as income for tax or minimum wage purposes.

Joe Biden signs anything he’s told to.

He smiles. Someone mentions if you sign this you and you family don’t have to live is prison.

So he does.

GS 1-5 stand to get some types of raises. Not certain if they are considering locality pay or base pay.
