As Tech Workers Hit the Federal Pay Ceiling – Will They Stay?

Congress raised the ceiling for salaries for career federal employees on the General Schedule for 2020, which means that GS-15s can receive a maximum of $170,800 this year – up from $166,500 from 2019. Many federal workers may not be feeling particularly thankful for this raise, however, as a growing number of federal employees (those who have hit the pay ceiling) are left without the salary increase they may deserve.

Peter Suciu, reporter at ClearanceJobs, interviews industry leaders including James Christopher, EVP of Operations and Engineering at 1901 Group, to share his insight on what happens to IT folks who hit a pay ceiling and how to keep top tech talent in a competitive market.

“Top federal contractor talent hitting a pay ceiling is a common challenge with traditionally delivered contracts – i.e. labor hour based – and traditional contractor delivery models, i.e. solutions and people. Top talent must be identified and nurtured, to include career planning, training, and certifications, as well as providing them with the right management and opportunities along the way.”
