Establish locality pay areas for Tampa and Orlando federal employees

Kathy Castor supports the Locality Pay Adjustment Act, which would direct the President’s Pay Agent to establish separate pay localities for the Tampa and Orlando metropolitan areas. Federal employees in those areas currently receive “Rest of U.S.” pay, while some nearby areas receive supplemental locality pay. Castor says the change would better account for the region’s rising cost of living and support hiring and retention.

Context: The bill was introduced but is not described here as enacted. The release does not specify how locality pay rates would be calculated.

In their own words
