Pay Our Correctional Officers Fairly Act
This bill adjusts pay rates for Bureau of Prisons correctional officers working in the "Rest of U.S." pay locality. It requires these employees to be paid based on the nearest other pay locality within 200 miles that offers a higher wage, rather than the standard "Rest of U.S." rate. For employees in specific "covered" wage areas, the bill mandates payment at the highest applicable rate within their region. The changes apply to pay periods starting 180 days after the bill's enactment.
