The document discusses a letter from the Office of Management and Budget in response to a request from Congressman English regarding the October 1978 salary increase for Federal white-collar employees. It explains that the President has decided to implement a 5.5% across-the-board increase instead of the usual varied percentage increases based on different grades. The document emphasizes the importance of the comparability principle in Federal pay policy, which aims to attract and retain employees with the necessary skills by offering salaries comparable to those in the private sector. It also explains that different employees may receive different increases based on their work level, but this is done to maintain fairness and competitiveness in the recruitment and retention of employees.
