In 1995, the compensation cap was $250 thousand. By 2011, the cap had risen to $763,029. The most recent cap (i.e. $763 thousand for 2011) stays in effect until revised by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). They cannot be escalated for future years.
Compensation, as defined under this cap includes only wages, salaries, bonuses, deferred compensation and employer contributions to a defined contribution pension plan. It does not include other elements of compensation such as severance pay, early retirement incentive pay, etc.
Since 1999, the cap applies to the five most highly compensated employees in management positions at each home office and each segment of the contractor, whether or not the home office or segment reports directly to the contractor's headquarters.
Beginning in 2012, the cap was extended to all employees under DoD, NASA, and Coast Guard contracts (see Section 803 of the 2012 NDAA).
