It\u2019s simply inexcusable and yet another example of the Trump administration\u2019s disregard for federal workers that this pay raise that we fought so hard for took so long to implement,\u201d said Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump initially proposed freezing federal pay at the previous year\u2019s rates for 2019 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/pay-benefits\/2018\/12\/29\/trump-formalizes-federal-pay-freeze-for-2019\/\" target=_blank>signed an executive order<\/a> to ensure just that at the end of December 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congressional legislation, however, supersedes such an order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has proposed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/pay-benefits\/2019\/03\/26\/omb-head-explains-why-2020-pay-raise-was-rejected\/\" target=_blank>pay freeze once again for 2020<\/a>, with administration officials arguing that such action would help federal agencies realign pay based on performance rather than length of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The raise applies to the first applicable pay period beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2019. It is now up to the Office of Personnel Management to instruct federal agencies on how to implement the new pay tables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pay raise for 2019 is
