With New Executive Order Trump Cancels Planned 2019 Federal Pay Increase
- 5 years ago
According to a report by Business Insider, on Friday, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that cancels a planned pay increase for federal workers in 2019. Previously, Trump called the 2.1 percent raise, scheduled to take effect in January, 'inappropriate' and an unrealistic burden on the already contentious federal budget. Business Insider reports that the order also cancels a yearly paycheck adjustment calculated in order with the region of the country where workers are posted.
