Pay Raise for Federal Employees Seems to be All But Ensured

Pay Raise for Federal Employees Seems to be All But Ensured

In today’s Federal Newscast, federal employees are one step closer to receiving the 2% pay raise the Biden administration proposed for fiscal 2025.

Federal employees are one step closer to receiving the 2% pay raise the Biden administration proposed for fiscal 2025. The Senate Appropriations Committee remained silent about the proposed increase when it passed the Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill last Thursday. With the House also remaining silent when it passed its version of the spending bill earlier this summer, the pay raise is all but a done deal. Federal unions and other employee organizations have pushed for a larger pay raise for feds in 2025, calling for a 7.4% boost rather than the 2% proposal. Nothing is set in stone, however, until President Joe Biden signs an executive order to enact the pay increase, which usually happens in December.
