New bill aims for a higher 2021 federal pay raise

(From The Federal Times)

The White House has yet to release its budget proposal for 2021, but some members of Congress are already gearing up to push for an even larger pay raise for federal employees in 2021 than they received for 2020.

Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, and Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., introduced the Federal Adjustment of Income Rates Act Jan. 29 in the Senate and House, respectively, which would boost federal basic pay by 3.5 percent next year, an even larger bump than the record setting increase of 2020.
