[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another exclusion outside of the intelligence agencies are independent agencies where pay is based on performance- as in, I get a 20K salary increase if my performance was awesome last year and a 15K increase if it was good.

It can be witheld from FOIA and then not make it to those websites because of that privacy info.

Given that you said this person makes over 200K I'm guessing this is the reason.  Try looking up other people at their agency.  Are all the salaries redacted?[/quote]

Sorry why would that be withheld under FOIA? Bonuses are public information as well. I fail to see how anyone outside of intelligence and DOD can get their salaries withheld. [/quote]

Because disclosing a performance based bonus would disclose an employee's performance ratings, and that's not subject to foia. [/quote]

Ratings are not releasable, but performance bonuses aren’t the same thing. I’m a consistently high achiever, certain offices just don’t pay much in bonuses and others will always give you 4k. Performance bonuses aren’t equal to your bonus. Some offices have 5k as the yearly cap. My dh has never received a performance bonus from his agency. [/quote]

People are confused.  The issue is not bonus.  It is actual change to base salary as a result of performance.  Some independent agencies not on the GS schedule do this.  And many of them withhold salary information as a result.[/quote]
