How will the NSPS pay banding structure be developed?
The PEO, with input from Focus Groups, will be developing the proposal for the NSPS pay band structure along with its flexibility. The PEO will use the experience with on-going demonstrations and alternative systems, and stakeholder input to finalize the basics of the NSPS structure. This process will determine how we establish pay bands across the Department, including those currently covered by the General Schedule and possibly the Federal Wage System. It will also address new methods for classification and qualifications determination.
