Federal Times: The Office of Personnel Management approved a 1 percent increase in its special pay rates for 2017, following President Barack Obama’s 2.1 pay bump for General Schedule employees.
Acting OPM Director Beth Cobert announced the adjustment in a Dec. 27 memo, outlining the agency’s annual review of the special pay rates.
The rates are based on locality and other specific pay grades that are adjusted to higher levels for federal jobs with a history of recruitment and retention difficulties and are governed by Title 5 federal statutes.
