Summary: President Donald Trump gave word on his official federal pay plans for 2019 and most civilian federal employees won't like the news. He told Congress yesterday that he plans to freeze pay for civilian employees next year. Members of the military are still on track to get a 2.6 percent raise next year. Trump said the country's fiscal situation means agencies need to focus their dollars on recruiting and rewarding the best-performing employees. Federal News Radio's Nicole Ogrysko joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to explain.
