2009 Raise
Updated On: May 10, 2009
The House on Wednesday (Sept 24, 2008) approved a bill granting civilian federal employees a 2009 pay raise of 4.2 percent.
The chamber voted for the raise as part of the fiscal 2009 Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act (H.R. 2638) funding government through March 2009. The adjustment is 1 percentage point higher than the increase proposed by the Bush administration, which in February called for a 2.9 percent hike for civilian workers and a 3.4 percent boost for military personnel.
The 4.2 percent figure is identical to the amount the House specified for members of the military in the fiscal 2009 Defense authorization bill (S. 3001), which also passed Wednesday.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., praised the continuing resolution for granting civilian and military employees the same raise. "The Washington-area delegation works hard every year to provide employees of the federal government with a pay adjustment that recognizes the vital contributions they make," he said. "I am pleased that we have acted once again in the spirit of pay parity to secure a fair adjustment for all sectors of our federal workforce."
A portion of the 4.2 percent civilian pay hike would be allocated for locality pay; the rest would go toward an across-the-board increase.
