Original Legislation to Give TSA Employees a Raise

This legislation aims to significantly increase the compensation for a substantial portion of the Transportation Security Administration's workforce. It mandates a 15 percent increase in the annual rate of basic pay for all career employees, as well as a 15 percent increase for each pay band under the TSA Core Compensation System.

The pay raise is scheduled to become effective on the first pay period that begins on or after the date of the bill's enactment, but before the second pay period following enactment. A "career employee" is specifically defined as any career agent or officer of the TSA, excluding senior executives, career appointees, or senior career employees, ensuring the benefits target a specific segment of the agency's personnel.
