Under the bill, Congress would decide each year whether these raises should be granted, and if so, in what amount. As everyone is well aware, significant changes are on the horizon for federal managers and supervisors, with the Presidential election just three weeks from today.

Others are worried about the changes to come, with talk from the candidates about further downsizing of federal managers and supervisors. While we can't predict what will happen under a new Administration, we strongly advise federal managers, supervisors, and members of the SES to obtain professional liability insurance now.
