Reagan plan shifts federal raises from seniority to merit
The Reagan administration will propose replacing automatic seniority based raises with a merit system for 1.2 million white collar federal workers. The plan, part of the 1988 budget, would weight performance, not budget savings, and would use a points scheme tied to years of service and performance ratings to determine increases. The administration says within grade increases would fund merit raises and that employees would not earn raises simply by showing up.
