Pay schedule
Pay schedule means a set of rate ranges established for GS employees under a single authorityi.e., the General Schedule, an LEO special base rate schedule (for grades GS3 through 10), a locality rate schedule based on GS rates, a locality rate schedule based on LEO special base rates (for grades GS3 through 10), a special rate schedule under this subpart, or a similar schedule under 38 U.S.C. 7455. A pay schedule applies to or covers a defined category of employees based on established coverage conditions (e.g., official worksite, occupation). A pay schedule is considered to apply to or cover an employee who meets the established coverage conditions even when a rate under that schedule is not currently payable to the employee because of a higher pay entitlement under another pay schedule.
