Federal Employees Will Get 1% Pay Increase In 2015

It's official. Federal employees under the General Schedule will receive a 1 percent pay increase in 2015. President Obama signed an executive order on raises Friday, just before leaving on his Hawiian vacation. Raises are effective Jan. 1. Most commissioned and enlisted service members will receive similar raises. The minimum Senior Executive Salary will also rise 1 percent, to $122,000 dollars. Members of Congress and senior political leaders don't get raises. Their salaries were frozen as part of the fiscal 2015 budget deal. The President's executive order keeps locality pay percentages at 2014 levels.
