“We must attract, recruit, and retain a skilled workforce with fair compensation in order to keep our Government running, deliver services, and meet our nation’s challenges today and tomorrow,” President Joe Biden said in a statement. “This alternative pay plan decision will continue to allow the federal government to employ a well‑qualified federal workforce on behalf of the American people, acknowledging wage growth in the labor market and fiscal constraints.”

The raise will take effect Jan. 1, 2025.

The 2025 increase is significantly lower than in previous years. In 2024, civilian workers receive a 5.2% boost; in 2023 the increase was 4.7%.
