BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL


Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Federal Executive Pay

Compression Worsens





Despite a 5.5-percent salary increase in Octo-
ber 1979, the adverse effects of limiting or
denying these increases to Federal executives
have worsened.
Pay compression now extends further into the
General Schedule and covers about 90 percent
of Senior Executive Service (SES) members.
This results in 6,100 of 6,800 SES members
and over 10,000 other top Federal executives
receiving the same salary despite wide variances
in levels of responsibility. Executive pay pur-
chasing power continues to decline and exec-
utive recruitment and retention problems for
Federal agencies persist. The incentive to retire
is also increased by generous cost-of-living ad-
justments to retirement annuities. The success
of SES may also be threatened by salary lim-
itations.

GAO recommends that the Congress allow an-
nual pay adjustments, discontinue linking con-
gressional and Executive Level II salaries, and
allow bonus and rank provisions to take effect
for SES members.
