Federal workers would get a 3.1% pay raise and 1% locality pay boost in 2027.
This bill would give most federal employees a pay raise in 2027. Their basic pay would go up by 3.1%, and they would also get an extra 1% increase for locality pay. This means more money in their paychecks starting next year.
Today, federal employee pay adjustments are determined by existing laws that consider economic factors and wage surveys. If this bill becomes law, it would set specific pay increases for 2027: a 3.1 percent raise for basic pay for most federal workers, an additional 1 percent for locality pay, and a 3.1 percent raise for prevailing rate employees that would override standard wage survey requirements.
