HR 5171 United States House · 118th Congress

Federal Employee Pay Compression Relief Act of 2023

This bill removes certain pay adjustments from federal pay cap calculations. It excludes annual pay adjustments under Section 5303 and locality-based pay adjustments under Section 5304 when determining if an employee's total pay exceeds maximum limits. This directly affects federal civilian employees, administrative law judges, and military personnel by preventing these adjustments from counting toward pay caps. As a result, employees may reach higher pay levels without triggering cap restrictions, addressing pay compression concerns.
