• Legislation Would Provide Pay Parity for Wage Grade Federal Employees 

  By Ian Smith, Fedsmith

  The Wage Grade Employee Parity Act (H.R. 1594) was introduced by Congressman Matt Cartwright (D-PA). It would guarantee that the percentage increase in rates of basic pay for Wage Grade, or hourly, employees is equivalent to the percentage increase received by General Schedule, or salaried, federal employees.

  The bill was also previously introduced in the past two sessions of Congress by Cartwright. Language from the bill was included in FY 2015 and FY 2016 spending bills that were signed into law.
