Summary:

Federal pay adjustment rates going into effect in January 2004, under Executive Order 13322 (69 Federal Register 231) were less than those in the pending Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004 ( H.R. 2673 ). The General Schedule (GS) and related salary systems were limited to 2.0%, as opposed to the 4.1% subsequently passed. Salaries of officials in the three branches were temporarily limited, due to the lower GS rate, to 1.5%, rather than the scheduled 2.2%, which upon Presidential approval of H.R. 2673, will go into effect retroactively.
