Executive Order 14061 provides that 

the rates of basic pay for administrative 

law judges (ALJs) under 5 U.S.C. 5372 

are increased by 2.2 percent (rounded to 

the nearest $100) in 2022. The rate of 

basic pay for AL–1 is $176,300 

(equivalent to the rate for level IV of the 

Executive Schedule). The rate of basic 

pay for AL–2 is $171,900. The rates of 

basic pay for AL–3/A through 3/F range 

from $117,600 to $162,900. 

The rates of basic pay for members of 

Contract Appeals Boards are calculated 

as a percentage of the rate for level IV 

of the Executive Schedule. (See 5 U.S.C. 

5372a.) Therefore, these rates of basic 

pay are increased by 2.2 percent in 

2022. 

On November 30, 2021, OPM issued 

a memorandum on behalf of the 

President’s Pay Agent (the Secretary of 

Labor and the Directors of the Office of 

Management and Budget and OPM) that 

continues GS locality payments for ALJs 

and certain other non-GS employee 

categories in 2022. By law, EX officials, 

SES members, employees in SL/ST 

positions, and employees in certain 

other equivalent pay systems are not 

authorized to receive locality payments. 

(Note: An exception applies to certain 

grandfathered SES, SL, and ST 

employees stationed in a nonforeign 

area on January 2, 2010. See CPM 2009– 

27 at https://www.chcoc.gov/content/ 

nonforeign-area-retirement-equityassurance-act.) The memo is available at

On December 22, 2021, OPM issued a 

memorandum (CPM 2021–27) on the 

2022 pay adjustments. (See https://

www.chcoc.gov/content/january-2022- 

pay-adjustments.) The memorandum 

transmitted Executive Order 14061 and 

provided the 2022 salary tables, locality 

pay areas and percentages, and 

information on general pay 

administration matters and other related 

guidance. The ‘‘2022 Salary Tables’’ 

posted on OPM’s website at http://

www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/ 

pay-leave/salaries-wages/ are the official 

rates of pay for affected employees and 

are hereby incorporated as part of this
