Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Higher pay for federal prison staff
If enacted, Bureau of Prisons employees whose work mainly involves custody, control, supervision, or routine direct inmate contact would get higher base pay. For employees paid under the General Schedule or Law Enforcement Officer rates, the bill would raise the applicable base by 35%, round to the nearest dollar, and replace the GS/LEO base with that special base pay (capped at Executive Schedule level V). For covered Federal Wage System employees at grade 9 or below, the Attorney General would increase wage rates by 35%, treated as basic pay and capped at Executive Schedule level IV. The bill would count some supervisors and administrative staff as eligible if OPM finds their positions meet the custody/contact test. The special pay rules would start on enactment and would end five years later unless the DOJ Inspector General reports measurable progress reducing augmentation and excessive mandatory overtime; the IG must report to Congress at least 180 days before the expiration and can allow the authority to continue.
