Federal Telework Pay Cuts: No Raises for Remote Employees.

This bill aims to halt annual pay increases and reduce locality pay for most federal employees who telework at least one day per week. This means affected workers would lose eligibility for yearly raises and would be paid based on the lowest regional rate, regardless of the cost of living in their actual location. Exemptions apply to disabled employees, law enforcement officers, and Foreign Service members.
Key points
Federal employees who telework frequently (at least 1 day per week) will lose eligibility for annual statutory pay adjustments.
These employees' pay will be set at the lowest regional rate ("Rest of U.S."), even if they reside in high-cost metropolitan areas.
Exemptions from these pay restrictions include disabled employees, law enforcement officers, and active duty military personnel.
