Bill Summary
Amends the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (P.L. 111-242) to extend through December 31, 2013, the freeze on any cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to the pay of certain federal civilian employees (thus extends such freeze from two to three calendar years). Extends through such date the prohibition against receipt by a senior executive or senior-level employee of any increase in the rate of basic pay absent a change of position that results in a substantial increase in responsibility or a promotion. Applies the pay limit freeze to Members of Congress. Declares that no statutory COLA for a legislative branch employee which would otherwise take effect during the period beginning on enactment of this Act and ending on December 31, 2013, shall be made.
AI Summary
This bill extends a freeze on pay raises for certain federal civilian employees and Members of Congress through December 31, 2013, meaning they will not receive cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for an additional year, making it a three-year freeze in total. It also continues to prohibit senior executive or senior-level employees from receiving pay increases unless they are promoted or take on significantly more responsibility. The bill specifically applies this pay limit freeze to Members of Congress and prevents any statutory COLAs for legislative branch employees that would have taken effect between the bill's enactment and the end of 2013.
