Locality Payments

The President's Executive order establishes the amounts of the 2009 locality payments for GS employees. A list of the 2009 locality pay adjustments for the 32 locality pay areas, as well as the net percentage increase in each area (reflecting the combined effect of the 1.7 percent across-the-board base pay increase and the applicable increase in the locality pay percentage) is included on this site.
