Feds covered by another payroll service may therefore see a different timeline for the pay raise\u2019s implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those that are covered by the National Finance Center, not all will receive the full retroactive pay on their next paycheck. The notice, first reported by Government Executive, stipulates that receipt of the full, retroactive pay depends on whether an action such as a promotion or step increase requires additional paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEmployees\u2019 retroactive salaries will not be paid until your agency processes a history correction and it revalidates and applies to
