How can a pay raise be approved when there's no budget? I think Ralph has the right idea. From his photo, it looks like he is already retired and enjoying life in sunny Florida!

Congress is quick to mess wiht and reduce potential pay raises for paid Federal Employees; but, as elected Federal employees, they voted themselves an automated pay raise years ago. If i am not present for duty, I must be on annual leave, sick leave, or be charged leave without pay; yet these elected Federal Employees can be absent fromo their duty location, the House or the Senate wihtout having to forfeit pay of anything else. they need better accountability of the Taxpayers' money that they are giving themselves.

what is the maximum a GS 13 step 10 FBI special agent can earn per pay period which is capped by a "ceiling"? What is that "ceiling" based on? Is it what a federal judge is allowed to earn ....is that $154,600 for year 2007? I am asking because whenever I work on a federal holiday I do NOT receive one extra penny of pay because I was told that my pay hit the federal ceiling which for 2006 was $5481.60 gross per pay period (bi-weekly). Has that "ceiling been raised for 2007 and if so, what is the 2007 ceiling? thank you

This article (the one for which you posted a comment) contains the following statement that probably answers your question:

"If you happen to be in the higher pay ranges, keep in mind that regardless of what the pay tables may show, that there is a limit on the amount of money that Uncle Sam will pay you. "The aggregate limitation on pay for calendar year 2007 will be $186,600 (equivalent to the rate for level I of the Executive Schedule)."
