Summary: Ahead of the planned federal pay raise for 2024, more than 33,000 federal employees are now set to get even larger pay checks. By the end of December, President Joe Biden plans to sign off on a 5.2% average pay raise for most federal employees on the General Schedule. The pay bump comprises a 4.7% across-the-board raise that everyone gets, plus a 0.5% average locality-based boost. The pay raise — still pending final sign-off — will kick in starting in January. Military members are also expected to receive a 5.2% pay raise next year. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
