[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a pay freeze as well? Where does that leave the 1% (or 2.88% in DC) that Obama granted -- which we haven't received yet? It's effective Jan 8, so it would be in Friday's paycheck. What about if you're at the SEC and got another merit increase to be paid out 2 weeks from Friday (so starting in THIS pay period which started Sunday) -- assume that one's gone?[/quote]

I may be wrong, but I would think merit increases are separate from the hiring and pay freeze.  I thought the pay freeze was just for COLA.  I hope I'm right![/quote]

For the COLA/locality (2.88%) -- isn't that payroll already being processed? That pay period is over -- we submitted time last Wed/Thursday and usually paystubs are available by this Wed even though you don't get the cash until later in the week. I'm not sure this order changes that. No idea re merit pay -- wish they'd post the orders online so we could see the specifics but that'd be too much transparency.[/quote]

PP 12:12 again.  Yes I hope the 2.88% COLA can't be reneged.  I keep refreshing pages to get more info.  What exactly does "public health" and "public safety" encompass??[/quote]

Yep. I seriously wonder what public safety is. I work on offshore oil rig safety inspections. Public safety? Or does that fall under the regulations he wants to roll back? [/quote]
