The General Schedule (GS) pay scale is used to determine the salaries of most federal civilian employees. The GS pay raise for 2025 has not yet been determined, but it is expected to be around 2%. This would be the largest pay raise for federal employees in several years.
A pay raise for federal employees is important for several reasons. First, it helps to keep pace with the rising cost of living. Second, it rewards federal employees for their hard work and dedication. Third, it helps to attract and retain the best and brightest talent to the federal workforce.
