Like other Federal employees, Senators and Representatives automatically get annual increases based on the Private Industry, Wages and Salary, Employment Cost Index so they get the average pay increase all private sector American workers got the previous year.
The 27th Amendment to the Constitution says that any change to Congressional pay cannot take effect until an election of representatives has taken place. This has not stopped Congress from passing laws to skip getting their annual increases. Most recently Congress passed a law to skip the 2010 raise.
The last time members of Congress got a pay increase, other than the indexed adjustments, was in 1991. At the same time they were prohibited from accepting private fees (called honoraria).
