As I said above, spot awards only. Could be a small bonus or some time off. I got 10 hours earlier this year.

this year fully successful SEC staff will get 2.65%+ the GS raise, so probably 7.35% +0.5% geopay. not terrible.

At one point there was a program to give larger bonuses but it was targeted at the top 5% of the workforce.


however, if the annual raise+ geopay increase (raises happen in april) puts you over your salary band cap, the extra money over the cap is given to you as a bonus.

Hello, fellow former FRB colleague. 👋

Tho, the Bank Pension system is a lot better than the other agencies. No contribution, better calculations, etc.


Not the FRB - so we didn’t even have the better retirement…

When does SEC give annual bonuses? And what are typical bonuses versus time off allowed?
