Summary:

Federal white-collar employees are to receive an annual pay adjustment and a locality-based comparability payment under the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act (FEPCA). The annual adjustment is based on the Employment Cost Index, which requires a 2.8 percent adjustment in January 1998. The size of the locality payment is determined by the President and is based on a comparison of General Schedule and non-federal salaries in 32 pay areas nationwide.
