NCI Pays Back Wages to Thousands at Fort Detrick
The National Cancer Institute and four contractors at the Frederick Cancer Research Facility paid more than $7.2 million in back wages to about 2,300 current and former workers. The payments stem from a Service Contract Act ruling and affect roughly seven years of wages across 1987 onward, with some individual sums exceeding $41,000. The ruling raises labor costs and raises the risk of layoffs as NIH absorbs budget cuts and wage rates rise by 15 to 20 percent this year.
