MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF DEPAR)1 NTS AND AGENCIES
FROM: Constance Horner
Director
SUBJECT: Consistent Federal Pay Administration
Policy in Fiscal Year 1987
Public Law 99-500 and Public Law 99-591 provide for General
Schedule increases of 3 percent for FY 1987, effective in
January 1987, and permit increases for certain prevailing
rate employees not to exceed the percentage increase for
the General Schedule. These laws also require that in-
creases for the prevailing rate employees be delayed 90
days beyond their normal effective dates.
Many of you have independent statutory authority to set pay
for special groups of employees. In the interest of govern-
ment-wide consistency and support for the clear intentions
of the President and the Congress, I urge you to exercise
this authority with prudence and restraint. Pay increases
beyond the 3 percent limit for FY 87 should be restricted,
wherever possible, to those required by law, contract, or
treaty, or that are absolutely necessary to achieve critical
staffing objectives.
Pay increase limitations have been in effect for nine con-
secutive years and, with deficit reduction efforts, are
likely to continue in some form into future fiscal years.
Please bear this in mind as you negotiate contracts that
prescribe pay increases for future years.
