GS Pay Scale 2012 for Federal Employees - GS Locality Pay Tables / Charts
Last Update: October 18, 2011
In December 2010, President Obama signed into law a bill that included a freeze
for the federal employee GS pay scale 2012 -- the second of a two-year
pay freeze -- through December 31, 2012.
The 2012 GS pay scale freeze applies to all civilian
federal employees, including those in various alternative pay plans and those
working at the Department of Defense -- but not military personnel.
While it is not anticipated this pay freeze will be repealed, you can get
