Normally, pay must be set at the lowest level of the applicable rate range for the position (GS-13 step ane, on the applicable pay table; encounter five CFR 531.211). However, the agency may prepare pay higher if you have superior qualifications or they have a special hiring need (5 CFR 531.212).

Basically your service computation engagement (SCD) is shifted back in fourth dimension equal for each twenty-four hour period of qualified service. This will modify how your annual leave is accrued 6 hrs vs iv hrs per pay period, and your seniority for RIF deportment.

Federal salaries are not an exact science, and contrary to what people will tell you, you can do things to influence information technology. The easiest way to argue for an advance in step is to already be making more than a 13-1 makes at the place where you will be assigned. I did that for my start government chore, and I gave them a pay stub and they were able to write a justification for an accelerate in step. If you don't get the bacon/circumstances that you want, you tin e'er walk away. It's good to apply and interview for several jobs so yous accept several offers in the queue, and no single one will make or break you. That said, getting the outset fed job can exist quite tough, then it might not be a colina to die on. Good luck!

I know our section is hiring a lot of people primarly in GS-xiii and they oasis't given one person that nosotros know higher up stride one. Our union is really involved in this and they also believe no i has gotten above. All the new hires that I have talked to that accept tried information technology were told they would not brand exceptions.

That is, even if the veteran'due south qualifications, experience, and earnings history qualify him or her for a higher starting salary. The reasoning behind is that veterans who are hired on an initial Federal appointment upon leaving agile duty are considered to exist "unemployed." Every bit such, these veterans are considered not to exist earning any income from their present military machine jobs. Therefore, they accept no existing earnings history that could be used as a footing for the hiring agency to set staring bacon. Only veterans who take at least one competing job offer may be hired at an advanced Step or salary level. In such a case, the Federal agency will try to lucifer the salary offered past the competing employer. This hiring policy is based on the Federal Personnel Manual (FPM), a reference that became obsolete just earlier the end of the 20th century. The FPM was superseded by the Lawmaking of Federal Regulations (CFR), which let Federal agencies to hire an initial Federal appointee at an advanced Step or salary level, based on at least i of several criteria. These criteria include qualifications and experience, as well every bit existing or recent earnings history. The section on Superior Qualifications Appointments, 5CFR 531.212, covers this in detail. However, some Federal agencies still use the obsolete FPM, to determine the starting salary of veterans who have no previous Federal work experience. In accordance with 5CFR 531.212, the decision for a superior qualifications appointment rests with the agency official who is at least one level college than the prospective employee's supervisor. This agency official is usually the hiring manager, who should exist aware of this current regulation. Your hiring manager should exist able to help you go hired at an advanced Stride or bacon level, so you lot could get credit for your military experience.
