Risks & tensions

  • Timing tension: EO signed December 23, 2000 with military pay effective January 1, 2001 leaves minimal implementation window
  • Vague deadline for OPM publication—no specific date or day count specified
  • First applicable pay period language creates variable effective dates across agencies with different pay period cycles
  • Routine annual action with limited discretionary policy content—largely implements pre-existing statutory formulas
