2011 Federal Pay Raise: 1.4% Increase for GS Pay Scale?
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.

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.

Salary Council Makes 2011 Locality Pay Rate Recommendations.
The Federal Salary Council has recommended a 43.75 percent average locality pay rate for federal employees in 2011, but the 2010 civilian pay raise is still a mystery.

The council recommended the highest locality rate for San Francisco at 61.30 percent, with Washington close behind at 60.23 percent. New York City followed with a 53.82 percent recommendation, and Hartford, Conn., was fourth at 50.15 percent. The council recommended a 33.77 percent rate for the Rest of the U.S. category.

Those locality rate recommendations do not mean that federal employees will receive an average 43.75 percent pay raise in 2011. Rather, the base salaries for federal jobs in many areas are adjusted by a percentage that changes annually and is designed to close the gap between federal and private sector salaries in certain occupations. The 43.75 percent represents the average adjustment in salaries that the council believes is necessary to close that gap. (more…)
