Still, the modest pay raise only applies to white-collar employees under the General Schedule system.

It leaves in place automatic cuts of 5 percent to domestic agencies and 7.8 percent to the Pentagon ordered by President Barack Obama Friday night after months of battling Republicans over the budget.
