A BILL To amend title 5, United States Code, to limit the number of local wage areas allowable within a General Schedule pay locality.

AI Summary

This bill, the Locality Pay Equity Act of 2021, aims to limit the number of local wage areas that can be defined within a General Schedule pay locality. The bill amends Title 5 of the United States Code to restrict the Office of Personnel Management from defining more than one local wage area within a pay locality, with the exception of the "Rest of United States" pay locality. This change is intended to promote pay equity by reducing the number of local wage areas, which can result in disparities in federal employee pay within the same geographic region. The bill also directs the Director of the Office of Personnel Management to issue any necessary regulations to ensure that the implementation of this Act does not decrease the basic pay rates of prevailing rate employees.
