Will the Federal Pay Raise be Cancelled?
On Thursday, August 30, 2018 , President Trump informed Congress that he had determined that for 2019, the across‑the‑board pay increase of 2.1% s and the 25.7% locality pay increase would be set at zero. He added, that this action “will not materially affect our ability to attract and retain a well‑qualified Federal workforce,”.
During an event in North Carolina on Friday, President Trump announced that he would study his decision over the weekend, He stated, “I’m going to take a good, hard look over the weekend.” This was apparently a reaction to a bipartisan outcry from members of Congress.
