The average 4.6 percent salary boost Jan. 1 to the nearly 2.2 million executive branch employees will be the largest in two decades.
The order applies to the large majority of the nearly 2.2 million executive branch employees, with amounts varying by local area. The overall average of 4.6 percent is the largest increase since 2002.
The raise technically applies only to white-collar employees below the senior levels paid under the General Schedule pay system. However, blue-collar federal employees, who fall under a different system, will again have their raises tied to those of white-collar employees in their area. The largest raise, of 5.15 percent, will be paid to employees working in the Seattle area. The smallest, 4.37 percent, applies to employees outside the four dozen city areas that have their own rates.The Washington-Baltimore region encompasses those two cities, most of Maryland and Northern Virginia, and stretches into south-central Pennsylvania and eastern West Virginia.
The raises are being paid under an executive order because Congress did not specify a figure in a budget bill before adjourning.
