DCIPS PAY ISSUES How will my General Pay Increase (GPI) and locality pay be affected?
• Under DCIPS, an annual “floor” will be established that will represent the minimum amount of salary increase an employee performing at or above the successful level (level 3) will receive. The “floor” will be determined each year but will initially be equivalent to the GPI (General Pay Increase) that is provided to General Schedule employees. • Under DCIPS, locality pay has been replaced by Local Market Supplements (LMS). Initially, DCIPS LMS will be tied to General Schedule locality pay areas and the associated locality rates until a market pricing methodology has been developed that can replace the current government-wide locality pay methodology.
