I understand that broad bands replace grade levels under the CAPS. How does pay progression occur under a broad banding system?
Progression through a pay band is accomplished through annual performance pay increases. By removing the pay barriers between the General Schedule (GS) grades that are placed in the same band, high-performing employees may earn higher salaries than they would under the current system. For example, banding of grades GS-7 and GS-8 allow employees who would have reached the top of the GS-7 grade to have access to the GS-8 pay range.
