Federal pay tables for 2000 running late

The Clinton administration has not yet announced when it will release 2000 pay scales for federal employees. Annual pay tables are typically released in late November.

An Office of Personnel Management spokesman said Thursday that President Clinton has not yet decided how the 4.8 percent pay raise for federal employees will be divided between locality pay and an across-the-board increase. Once the President makes his announcement on how the raise will be divided, OPM will release pay tables for federal workers.

The fiscal 2000 Treasury-Postal appropriations bill called for an average 4.8 percent pay raise for federal workers effective Jan. 1. A portion of that will be designated to an across-the-board pay hike. The remainder will be assigned to locality pay, which is based on the cost of labor in metropolitan regions around the country.

The pay tables will be posted on GovExec.com as soon as they are released.
