House and Senate conferees agreed to give the nation’s 4.4 million civilian and military workers a 4.1% pay raise next year. President Reagan is expected to sign the measure, which would take effect Jan. 1. The raise would increase the salary of the highest-ranking career civil servant from $77,500 to $80,775 a year. The cost of the raise is more than $4 billion. The civilian agencies are required to absorb its full cost, but details of the military raise have not been determined.
