Summary: Paychecks for federal employees may look a little larger next year. Congress has agreed to a 3.1% pay raise for civilian federal employees.

Congress is under some tight pressure, though, to get everything done. Federal News Network's Nicole Ogrysko joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin for the latest details.
