Common questions
What is the General Schedule (GS) pay system?
The General Schedule (GS) is the primary pay scale for federal white-collar civil service personnel, consisting of 15 grades (GS-1 through GS-15) and 10 within-grade step increments.
How does locality pay work in the federal government?
Locality pay is an additional percentage added to the nationwide base GS pay scale to reflect the geographic cost of labor in specific metropolitan areas (e.g. +33.26% for Washington DC, +44.15% for the San Francisco Bay Area).
What does an occupational series code mean (e.g., 2210)?
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) categorizes all civil service jobs into 4-digit occupational series codes. For example, 2210 represents Information Technology Management, 0610 is Nursing, and 1811 is Criminal Investigation.
