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.
