President Biden will propose a 5.2 percent raise for federal employees, the largest increase the White House has put forward since Jimmy Carter was president.
That salary boost, which would go into effect in January, will be in Biden’s budget proposal for the fiscal year that starts Oct. 1, according to a senior federal official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the decision. Another official familiar with the decision, also speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed the proposal.
“President Biden is continuing to ensure that federal workers’ pay and benefits are insulated from the price-tag of inflation, but it will be paid for by American taxpayers who continue to be harmed by the Biden Administration’s inflationary policies,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said in a statement. “We should be putting American taxpayers first, not the federal bureaucracy.
Within days of taking office, Biden revoked Trump-directed executive orders that aimed to restrict employees’ bargaining and appeal rights and remove civil service protections from a large class of employees. The White House has told agencies instead to expand bargaining to a wider range of issues and highlight employee union rights in recruitment and orientation for new employees.
