Executive Order 13641: Adjustments of Certain Rates of Pay

President: Barack Obama

Issued revised 2013 federal pay tables after Congress canceled a planned civilian pay increase.

Status: Superseded. Is Executive Order 13641 still in effect? No. Executive Order 13641 was superseded. See Executive Order 13655: Adjustments of Certain Rates of Pay.

What does Executive Order 13641 do?

EO 13641 replaced EO 13635 after Public Law 113-6 canceled the planned 2013 civilian pay adjustment. It published revised pay schedules for covered federal systems, including the General Schedule, Foreign Service, Veterans Health Administration, senior executives and uniformed services. OPM publishes the signed order and schedules. EO 13655 supplied the next annual schedules, so the figures in EO 13641 are historical.
