GS Pay Scale USA 2024-2024 (GS 1 to GS 16) and General Schedule Pay Table With Locality
The GS Pay scale is the primary pay scale used in the US civil service and applies to nearly one-third of federal civilian employees. It covers white-collar employees in technical, administrative, professional, and clerical roles. The GS pay scale was originally designed to align federal salaries with those in the private sector, and it has been successful in reducing pay disparities and ensuring equal pay for equal work.
The General Schedule (GS) has 15 grades, ranging from GS-1 to GS-15, with each grade further divided into 10 steps. The grade of each job is determined based on factors such as the level of hardship, responsibility, and required skills.
