OPM Pay Administration

The Office of Personnel Management provides Governmentwide leadership by developing and maintaining Governmentwide regulations and policies on pay administration, including basic pay setting, locality pay, special rates, back pay, pay limitations, premium pay, grade and pay retention, severance pay, recruitment, relocation, and retention incentives, and cost-of-living allowances (COLA). However, each Federal agency is responsible for administering the appropriate pay policies and programs for its own employees.
