Annual Adjustments--

The Key To Federal Executive Pay





Salary increases for Federal executives have
been limited or denied despite statutes which
allow for annual and quadrennial adjustments.
This has resulted in problems of executive re-
cruitment and retention for Federal agencies.

About 12,400 top managers at other levels of
responsibility are also being denied annual
comparability adjustments to which they are
entitled because their salaries are limited by
executive salaries.

Without annual pay adjustments for execu-
tives, many of these problems will continue.

The Senior Executive Service will provide
some relief to some career executives, but its
success would be enhanced by the successful
functioning of the present system.

GAO recommends that the Congress allow an-
nual salary adjustments for executives to take
effect.
