Federal Pay Raises Likely
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—A House committee is expected to approve this week a proposed pay increase for government white collar workers—their 12th raise since 1945.
A House post office and civil service subcommittee passed a bill authorizing a 4.5 per cent increase as of next Oct.1. A second pay raise of about 4 per cent would go into effect the following year.
The wage plan, which is expected to cost the taxpayer about $1.2 billion, would affect 1.8 million employees—1.1 million so-called classified employees, 600,000 postal employees, and 100,000 individuals working in miscellaneous agencies.
Under the plan, the lowest classified employee would get $3,538 a year and the highest—$25,602. The maximum does not include the higher-paid agency heads, assistant secretaries and secretaries.
President Johnson has not taken a stand on the proposal but it is known that the administration has found many "objectionable" features in the pay raise bill. ___
