Adjustments of Certain Rates of Pay
Executive Order 14090, signed December 23, 2022, updates and sets the rates of basic pay for a broad set of federal employees and certain government positions. It updates the pay schedules for statutory pay systems (including the General Schedule, Foreign Service, and Veterans Health Administration pay), the Senior Executive Service, and the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial pay scales, as well as pay for uniformed services, locality-based comparability payments, and administrative law judges. The order directs that these revised pay rates be implemented via attached schedules, with Schedule 8 (uniformed services) taking effect January 1, 2023, and all other schedules becoming effective on the first pay period after January 1, 2023. The Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is tasked with implementing these payments and publishing notices in the Federal Register. The order also supersedes the prior Executive Order 14061 in terms of the effective dates.
