Federal Employees Pay Act

The Federal Employees Pay Act (FEPA) is a U.S. law designed to regulate and standardize salaries and benefits for federal workers. It aims to ensure that government employees receive fair compensation based on their job responsibilities and performance. The Act establishes guidelines for pay scales, including adjustments for cost of living and locality, helping to create equitable pay practices within federal agencies. This legislation supports the recruitment and retention of skilled employees in the public sector by promoting competitive compensation relative to the private sector.
