Many agencies are struggling to recruit and retain employees due to noncompetitive salaries that lag private-sector standards,\u201d American Federation of Government Employees National President J. David Cox. Sr. said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis pay raise is a critical investment in our government\u2019s most valuable resource \u2014 its workers. It also maintains the decades-long principle of providing equal pay adjustments to the government\u2019s civilian employees and service members, since it matches the 3.1 percent raise the Trump administration has proposed for the military next year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vice president and members of the executive schedule would also receive a 3.1 percent pay increase, lifting a freeze kept in place since 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The committee also took the first steps to block the Trump administration\u2019s planned transfer of authorities from the Office of Personnel Management to the General Services Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill would specifically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/federal-oversight\/congress\/2019\/04\/04\/house-democrats-dont-want-to-fund-an-opm-reorg\/\" target=_blank>forbid any funding<\/a> approved by the Congress from being used to break up OPM and move its operations to either GSA or the Office of Management and Budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would also prevent administration attempts to circumvent the legislative authority needed to fully break up OPM by ensuring that agency officials cannot \u201ccarry out any outsourcing or interagency agreement between the Office of Personnel Management and the General Services Administration not in effect before October 1, 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Administration officials have said that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/2019\/05\/14\/opm-at-greatest-risk-under-the-status-quo-says-director\/\" target=_blank>reorganization of OPM is necessary<\/a> to ensure that federal personnel operations continue in a modern and efficient manner, in part because a planned transition of OPM\u2019s National Background Investigation Bureau to the Department of Defense would strip the personnel agency of a sizable chunk of IT funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But opponents of the move worry that it is an attempt by the Trump administration to politicize the civil service by reducing the power of the OPM director and moving policy authority under the Executive Office of the President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a reckless and potentially dangerous proposal that would further the administration\u2019s efforts to politicize the civil service and undermine our democracy,\u201d said Cox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In total, the proposed appropriations would give OPM $148.7 million for salaries and expenses, an increase over the $132.2 million authorized for fiscal year 2019 after the 35-day government shutdown and subsequent continuing resolution interrupted normal appropriations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of that funding, $9 million would be made available for IT infrastructure improvements, less than the $14 million made available for FY19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill does offer some support for initiatives that have become central to Trump administration policy, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/2019\/02\/11\/technology-modernization-fund-issues-its-largest-award-yet\/\" target=_blank>Technology Modernization Fund<\/a>, which would receive an additional $35 million. That\u2019s a $10 million increase on what the fund was appropriated for 2019, when some members of Congress expressed hesitation for contributing more money before agencies could demonstrate positive results from their TMF-funded projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill would also grant the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency an additional $1 million to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/federal-oversight\/2018\/09\/28\/the-push-to-expand-oversight-transparency\/\" target=_blank>improvements and enhancements<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/oversight.gov\/\" target=_blank>oversight.gov<\/a>, the online repository for agency inspectors general reports and investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general government appropriations bill must pass consideration in its own committee and survive a House and Senate vote to become law, meaning that most such legislation receives significant edits before reaching the president\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal employees would get a significant pay increase in 2020 under a new appropriations bill released
