The Secretary of Defense determines 100% Base Salary Increase
The Secretary of Defense has determined that none of the GS base salary increase will be allocated to pay pool funds, meaning that NSPS employees with a rating of record of Level 2 or higher, and those employees without a current NSPS rating of record, will receive 100 percent of the base salary increase approved to Federal employees.
The actual General Schedule (GS) pay increase will not be known until the President signs an Executive Order implementing the January 2010 pay adjustment. While NSPS pay pool funds will not include a portion of the annual GS increase, those funds will continue to have money available for performance-based salary increases and bonuses, preserving the link between pay and performance under NSPS.

Defense Business Board Issues Report on NSPS
The Defense Business Board (DBB) issued its final report on NSPS on August 25, 2009 following a full review of the system. The review was designed to help Department leadership determine next steps and the way forward. The report made seven recommendations, including the recommendation to initiate a reconstruction of NSPS. The Deputy Secretary of Defense is reviewing the Task Group’s findings and recommendations and will engage key stakeholders in the process. A decision on the way forward is anticipated in the Fall. During the Deputy Secretary’s review, the moratorium on conversions of new organizations into NSPS will remain in effect. Organizations and employees currently covered by NSPS will continue to follow existing NSPS regulations, policies, and procedures.
The final report is posted on the DBB website at http://www.defenselink.mil/dbb/2009.html
