[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$160k a year is chump change?!?  Especially when you factor in a 40 hour work week and the benefits (leave, pension, health).  If you ask me, the people working 60+ hours a week in private sector and making $200k with no pension are the ones working like dogs.  [/quote]

While I agree with you, many 15s aren't making $160k a year. It takes a long time to climb the ladder. I'm a 15-2 making less than nearly all the employees I supervise, who have all been there much longer than me and are 14-10s. (I started with the agency as a 13 and was a 14-3 before promotion.) It will be another decade at least before I'm making the top amount.

Are any of your 14 step 10s non-supervisory? If so, you should pursue the supervisor differential...OPM Personnel Actions, Chapter 17, Pay and Step Changes, Rule 24, 5 U.S.C. 5755[/quote]

Thanks, I'll check it out. They're all non-supervisory. It's an office of attorneys. A supervisor and 10 line attorneys. [/quote]

Actually, looking at the statute, it only applies if at least one employee who makes more than the supervisor is not under the General Schedule. As it happens one of my employees isn't ... but he's likely to retire pretty soon. Also, it's at the agency head's discretion, and I know my agency head wouldn't go for it. So not going to help me ... but still a good thing to know about. Thanks again.[/quote]
