I thought it was a BS move on CBP's part until I researched it and the OPM regs state all pay raises take effect the beginning of the pay period after the employee qualifies for the pay raise. So If you qualify for a grade or step increase 10-12-09 you don't see it until 10-25-09. Next year you would qualify for the raise 10-25-10, but since it is a Monday you won't receive it until 11-07-10.
