I had been hoping for a QSI as well and have seen nothing. Are some agencies really doing the bonuses and QSIs for last fiscal year in the next calendar year?

My agency normally disclose bonuses to recipients from the middle to end of December effective early January. Rumor was they started making calls Friday but a lot of people are off, including supervisors, so I haven’t heard anything. But at my agency historically the highest performers get both bonuses and QSI’s.

I agree! I’m a 14 step 10. I would need a $20k to $25k increase to take on a supervisory role. Congress and the president needs to fix this pay cap issue, as well as raise executive pay. If their goal is to have horrible talent in top positions, then by all means keep status quo.

And they need to cap government employee healthcare premiums.
This pay adjustment may look good but it continues to not meet inflation, and healthcare premiums are jumping more this year.

Me too. I'm a 14/10 nonsupervisory. To make more, I'd likely have to take on a supervisory role at the same pay and then apply for more senior management roles. Pay at this level certainly isn't much of an incentive.

And we can try doing that, but we shouldn't see a lower purchasing power at the top of the career ladder we were hired on than at the rung we were hired on.

Absolutely, but after over 20 years in Federal Service, I don’t depend on anything happening at any given time. I do think eventually they will “right” the system, but it takes so long that when they do, the people at the top of the pay band are so happy to get anything that they still don’t get the right amount.

You could do what I did and take a grade demotion at a FinReg. My earning potential at a 13 is higher than 15/10 and I have more room to move up.
