All Federal Workers to Get 1% Raise
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2013/12/23/all-federal-workers-to
Federal employees in January will get their first across-the-board pay raise
in several years, as President Barack Obama moved Monday to activate a 1%
increase for all government workers.
The increase came by an executive order and was expected. The raise was
requested by the White House earlier in the year and Congress didn’t take
the necessary steps to prevent it from taking place.
Federal benefits and salaries are often targets during budget discussions.
The recent House and Senate budget agreement required certain federal
employees to contribute more to their pensions, and some Republicans have
proposed cutting the federal workforce to save money.
The Obama administration in previous years agreed to freeze the pay of
federal employees as part of the ongoing deficit-reduction fights in
Congress.
It’s the first across-the-board pay bump for federal employees since
federal employees received a 2% increase in January 2010. Federal employees
were able to collect bonuses, overtime and promotion pay raises.
Federal agencies must accommodate the pay increases within their budgets and
they do not collect additional funds because of Mr. Obama’s order.
There were roughly 4.4 million federal employees in 2011, according to the
Office of Personnel Management, a number that includes 1.6 million uniformed
military personnel. |
