1% Pay Raise for 2014

Federal employees will receive a 1% increase in 2014. 

For three years, Federal salaries have been frozen.  NTEU has tirelessly argued for an end to that freeze.  On December 23, 2013, the White House issued an Executive Order regarding the 1% increase.  NTEU focused on ensuring it would not be blocked.    

The 2014 pay tables reflecting the increase are located at:  http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/2014/general-schedule/

NTEU fought hard to get this increase, which will be effective for the first pay period in 2014.  Efforts will now focus on securing what NTEU National has referred to as a more "robust" increase in 2015.
