This legislation, titled the Federal Adjustment of Income Rates Act (FAIR Act) , aims to increase the compensation for federal employees in 2027. It specifically mandates a 3.1 percent adjustment to the rates of basic pay for employees covered by statutory pay systems for calendar year 2027. Furthermore, the bill provides for a separate 1 percent increase in locality pay for these employees, also effective for calendar year 2027. For prevailing rate employees, the legislation directs a 3.1 percent increase in their basic pay rates for fiscal year 2027, overriding standard wage survey requirements to ensure this adjustment.
