The bill would change how locality pay is set for certain Bureau of Prisons employees whose worksites are in the “Rest of U.S.” pay locality. It would also adjust wage schedules for some Bureau of Prisons employees paid under prevailing-rate systems.
Eligible employees in the “Rest of U.S.” locality would generally be assigned to a nearby pay locality. If more than one locality is within 200 miles, the bill selects the one with the highest comparability payment. Employees would not qualify under this rule if no other pay locality is within 200 miles. Separate rules would set higher wage schedules for certain prevailing-rate employees. The changes would apply to pay periods beginning at least 180 days after enactment.
