2011 Federal Pay Raise: 1.4% Increase for GS Pay Scale?
August 12, 2010
UPDATE: On July 29, 2010, the Senate Appropriations Committee passed the
Fiscal 2011 Financial Services and General Government spending bill which
included a 1.4 percent 2011 federal
pay raise -- the same figure that President Obama requested earlier this
year for the General Schedule 2011 (GS) pay scale.
In February, President Obama proposed a 1.4 percent 2011
increase for civilian workers in the General Schedule (GS) pay scale .
The proposed federal pay raise comes as part of the fiscal 2011 budget the
White House released. The pay increase provides pay parity with uniformed
military service members who would also receive a 1.4 percent pay raise under
the proposal.
The determination of the annual federal employee pay raise is a long
process, and the final figures for the 2011 GS pay scale won't be
released likely until December 2010.
Due to a slumping economy and increasing federal deficits, this year the
federal pay raise process may be subject to intense political pressure on
Congress and the White House.
