Change
Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Transportation Security Administration to issue retroactive pay that covered at least two full paychecks to most TSA employees.
Donald Trump orders retroactive pay for TSA employees
Why it matters
The order compels the Department of Homeland Security to identify and divert funds that have a reasonable and logical nexus to TSA operations to cover payroll, narrowing DHS spending flexibility. It requires the Transportation Security Administration to run additional payroll cycles and prioritize disbursing outstanding partial payments to active officers.
Implications
  • Department of Homeland Security financial officers must reclassify and transfer funds with a reasonable and logical nexus to TSA operations to cover the retroactive payroll.
  • Transportation Security Administration payroll administrators must process and distribute at least two full retroactive paychecks to most employees and prepare a third half-paycheck for subsequent disbursement.
