Policy It is the policy of Congress that Federal pay fixing be based on the principles that (1) there be equal pay for substantially equal work, and pay distinctions be maintained in keeping with work and performance distinctions; and (2) Federal pay rates be comparable with private enterprise pay rates for the same levels of work. Pay levels for the several Federal statutory pay systems shall be interrelated, and pay levels shall be set and adjusted in accordance with these principles. (Pub. L. 89-554, Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 458.) § 5302. Annual reports on pay comparability In order to carry out the policy stated by section 5301 of this title, the President shall (1) direct such agency as he considers appropriate, to prepare and submit to him annually a report which compares the rates of pay fixed by statute for employees with the rates of pay paid for the same levels of work in private enterprise as determined on the basis of appropriate annual surveys conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics; and (2) after seeking the views of such employee organizations as he considers appropriate and in such manner as he may provide, report annually to Congress (A) this comparison of Federal and private enterprise pay rates; and (B) such recommendations for revision of statutory pay schedules, pay structures, and pay policy, as he considers advisable. (Pub. L. 89-554, Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 458.) § 5303. Higher minimum rates; Presidential authority (a) When the President finds that the pay rates in private enterprise for one or more occupations in one or more areas or locations are so substantially above the pay rates of statutory pay schedules as to handicap significantly the Government's recruitment or retention of well-qualified individuals in positions paid under 1) section 5332 of this title; (2) the provisions of part III of title 39 relating to employees in the postal field service; (3) the pay scales for physicians, dentists, and nurses in the Department of Medicine and Surgery, Veterans' Administration, under chapter 73 of title 38; or (4) sections 867 and 870 of title 22; he may establish for the areas or locations higher minimum rates of basic pay for one or more grades or levels, occupational groups, series, classes, or subdivisions thereof, and may make corresponding increases in all step rates of the pay range for each such grade or level. However, a minimum rate so established may not exceed the maximum pay rate prescribed by statute for the grade or level. The President may authorize the exercise of the authority conferred on him by this section by the Civil Service Commission or, in the case of individuals not subject to the provisions of this title governing appointment in the competitive service, by such other agency as he may designate. (b) Within the limitations of subsection (a) of this section, rates of basic pay established under that subsection may be revised from time to time by the President or by such agency as he may designate. The actions and revisions have the force and effect of statute. (c) An increase in rate of basic pay established under this section is not an equivalent increase in pay within the meaning of section 5335 (a) of this title and section 3552 of title 39. (d) The rate of basic pay established under this section and received by an individual immediately before a statutory increase, which becomes effective prior to, on, or after the date of enactment of the statute, in the pay schedule applicable to such individual of any pay system specified in subsection (a) of this section, shall be initially adjusted, effective on the effective date of the statutory increase, under conversion rules prescribed by the President or by such agency as the President may designate.

Among other things, the policies and regulations of the President may provide for (1) preparing and reporting to him the annual comparison of Federal pay rates with private enterprise rates; (2) obtaining and reporting to him the views of employee organizations on the annual comparison, and on other pay matters; (3) reviewing and reporting to him on the adequacy of the Federal statutory pay structures for the Federal programs to which they apply; (4) reviewing the relationship of Federal statutory pay rates and private enterprise pay rates in specific occupation and local areas; and (5) providing step-increases in recognition of high quality performance and providing for properly relating supervisory pay rates paid under one system to those of subordinates paid under another system.
