Executive Order 13144: Adjustments of Certain Rates of Pay
President: Bill Clinton
Implemented the January 2000 statutory pay adjustment for civilian federal employees and senior officials.
Status: Superseded. Is Executive Order 13144 still in effect? No. Executive Order 13144 was superseded. See Executive Order 13182: Adjustments of Certain Rates of Pay.
What does Executive Order 13144 do?
EO 13144 set the 2000 General Schedule and related locality, executive, judicial and uniformed-service pay tables under the annual statutory process. These rates applied for that pay year and were replaced by the next annual order, EO 13182, in December 2000. The order is therefore a historical compensation instrument, not a current pay schedule.
