Summary

This order sets new pay rates for a wide range of federal positions by attaching pay schedules that specify salaries for the General Schedule, Foreign Service, Veterans Health Administration, Senior Executive Service, Executive Schedule, Congress, judges, and uniformed services.

The Office of Personnel Management must implement locality-based payments and publish notice. The order lists effective dates for different schedules and supersedes a prior order. It matters because it changes pay for many federal workers, elected officials, judges, and military members.
