President: Bill Clinton

Set 1997 pay schedules for federal employees, senior executives, judges, uniformed services and locality payments.

Status: Superseded. Is Executive Order 13033 still in effect? No. Executive Order 13033 was superseded. See Executive Order 13071: Adjustments of Certain Rates of Pay.

What does Executive Order 13033 do?

EO 13033 attached nine schedules for the 1997 pay cycle, covering statutory civilian systems, the Senior Executive Service, specified executive and judicial salaries, uniformed-service pay and allowances, and locality pay. Its uniformed-service schedule took effect on January 1, 1997; the others applied from the first relevant pay period. It superseded two 1996 pay orders. EO 13071 expressly superseded it for the 1998 cycle, so its figures are historical.
