HR 4008 United States House · 119th Congress

Pay Our Correctional Officers Fairly Act

This bill changes how federal Bureau of Prisons employees in the "Rest of U.S." pay locality receive compensation. It directs that employees whose official worksite is in "Rest of U.S." be treated as working in the nearest other pay locality (within 200 miles) with the highest comparability payment, rather than the default "Rest of U.S." rate. This adjustment applies to all Bureau of Prisons employees, including prevailing rate staff, and takes effect 180 days after enactment. The change directly affects federal correctional officers and staff working in remote locations currently covered by the "Rest of U.S." pay rate.
