NSPS Phaseout Continuing

The phaseout of the NSPS system meanwhile is continuing, with nearly 110,000 of the 226,000 employees who at one time were in NSPS now moved out. Of those, 72 percent received raises that average nearly $1,500, another 8 percent received no raises and another 20 percent who are above the maximum for their new grade and who under current DoD policy will remain at their salary levels but will be eligible for only half-sized annual raises until the underlying rate catches up. Various other potential approaches are being considered in Congress.
