The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 108-447, December 8, 2004), contains two provisions that affect the determination of pay adjustments for certain prevailing rate (wage) employees in FY 2005.

Over the last few months, the Chief Human Capital Officers Council has held several discussions regarding special rate adjustments for information technology (IT) employees. We considered various options regarding how IT special rates might be adjusted in January 2005 and made plans to attempt to collect the data necessary for me to make a decision among those options.

As I pointed out in my “Ten Things You Can Do to Improve Federal Hiring” memorandum of February 10, 2004, the keys to improving the quality and speed of the hiring process are to use existing flexibilities as and when they are appropriate and to fully engage your human resources (HR) staff. Agency managers and HR practitioners must be completely familiar with these flexibilities and with successful strategies for using them.
