General Wage Increase:
General Wage Increases (GWI) will be treated as they have been in years past where OFM automates it as much as possible. Agency action is needed only for directly valued employees. The following provides additional details for both indirectly and directly valued employees, including the agency action needed:
- For indirectly valued employees, the salary schedules will include the GWI and are being updated by OFM on June 23, 2023. In addition, indirectly valued employees’ basic pay records will be automatically updated in HRMS by OFM via table updates based on the General Service Salary Schedule and Special Salary Schedules. This includes semi-monthly and hourly employees paid from a salary schedule (pay scale). No agency actions are needed for OFM to implement GWIs for indirectly valued employees on June 23, 2023.
- For directly valued employees, the majority of directly valued employees (e.g., typically those in WMS and Exempt jobs) will be automatically updated by OFM. However, OFM needs agencies to validate their data before implementation. A list of impacted directly valued employees are listed under the tab titled Include Directly Val EEs on the spreadsheet for GWI attached to this email. Also included, in a tab titled Exclude Directly Valued EEs, is a list of directly valued employees who will not have their salary automatically updated effective July 1, 2023.
On or around July 1, 2023, OFM will send a final list of directly valued employees who had their records updated in HRMS and will include any that weren’t successfully updated which may require agency resolution.
Agency Action: Review and notify the OFM Help Desk of any corrections no later than close of business on June 23, 2023. Detailed instructions are contained within the spreadsheet on the instructions tab.
