Hi Kerri, Just out of curio, what's your level of experience? What GS level did they start you at? Thanks. Jerry

FYI the PTO just passed a 7% raise in salary for all employees effective mid-December. There should be another 2% raise in Januray.

I am also starting at USPTO in January 07. I have a BS degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Ohio State and no work experience in that field, so they started me out as a G5-step 10. I haven't heard anything about a pay raise on my end. Maybe people who haven't started yet aren't eligible. (But that's my own speculation.)

The 7% raise is across the board for everybody in Patents. I believe the 2% raise previously mentioned is the cost of living adjustment, but I've only been here since June, so that's just my educated guess. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...
