Bureau of Prisons employees in many rural areas would get higher pay based on nearby city rates.
This bill would change how pay is calculated for many Bureau of Prisons employees in rural areas. It would let them get higher locality pay based on rates in nearby cities, if a higher-paying area is within 200 miles. This means more money for these employees if the bill becomes law.
Today, Bureau of Prisons employees whose worksites are in "Rest of U.S." areas receive locality pay rates for that specific region. If this bill passes, many of these employees would have their pay based on a nearby, higher-paying city's rate if it's within 200 miles, potentially increasing their income. These changes would begin about six months after the bill becomes law.
