📣 FMA is speaking up about salary inversion at Navy shipyards. Supporting fair pay for our workforce includes addressing the pay concerns of those who lead it. Read more below! ⚓

FMA Raises Concerns about Salary Inversion in Navy

The Federal Managers Association has raised concerns about salary inversion—subordinates being paid more than their managers—at Navy shipyards, saying “This problem is significant, worsening, and increasingly affecting the Navy’s ability to retain and support its management workforce.”

In similar letters to the Navy and DoD/DoW secretary Pete Hegseth, the organization cited pay increases and differentials for wage grade employees in recent years exceeding GS raises at the Norfolk, Va., shipyard and at least three others. While the FMA supports those raises, “This pay structure has raised serious concerns among a growing number of our Navy GS members who supervise non-GS employees now earning higher compensation,” it wrote.
