GAO Union Reaches Agreement with Management to Improve PDP Pay Structure; Members Vote this Week
The union has reached an agreement with management to increase salary raises for staff in the Professional Development Program (PDP) . The PDP Pay Agreement increases the percentages used to calculate PDP raises and provides a one-time payment intended to address delays stemming from the negotiation process. In addition, the new raise formula for PDP staff will fix a quirk in the current system that disadvantages certain employees in comparison with peers who have roughly comparable salaries. The agreement between the Union and management is subject to approval by the Union membership.

This agreement must be voted on for ratification by all GAO Union members. Voting will begin on February 2 and will end on February 9. If you would like to join in order to vote, you have until February 5 to submit your application. PDP Pay Structure Brownbag Discussions will be held on Wed. 2/3 and Fri. 2/5 (VTC available); for details, go to this link.
