This bill would change how the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) sets employee salaries. Currently, the CFPB has flexibility in determining its own pay rates; this legislation would require the agency to instead follow the federal General Schedule, which is the standard pay system used by most federal employees. The change would apply to all CFPB employees and take effect 90 days after the bill becomes law. By moving the CFPB to the General Schedule, the bill aims to align the agency's compensation practices with other federal agencies, though this would likely result in lower pay for many CFPB workers who currently earn above General Schedule levels.
