Pay Rates
Unlike the General Schedule, SES pay is determined at agency discretion within certain parameters, and there is no locality pay adjustment.
The minimum pay level for the SES is set at 120 percent of the basic pay for GS-15 Step 1 employees ($119,554 for 2010). The maximum pay level depends on whether or not the employing agency has a "certified" SES performance appraisal system:
- If the agency has a certified system, the maximum pay is set at Level II of the Executive Schedule ($179,700 for 2010).
- If the agency does not have a certified system, the maximum pay is set at Level III of the Executive Schedule ($165,300 for 2010).
Total aggregate pay is limited to the salary of the Vice President of the United States ($230,700 for 2010).

Famous quotes containing the words pay and/or rates:
“Troilus. You have bereft me of all words, lady.
Pandarus. Words pay no debts, give her deeds.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
