Section 5332 · The General Schedule

In subsection (a), the words “the symbol for which is ‘GS’ ” are added on authority of former section 1111 which is carried into section 5104. So much as related to the Crafts, Protective, and Custodial Schedule is omitted as repealed effective not later than Sept. 11, 1955, by the Act of Sept. 1, 1954, §§109(b), 110(b), 68 Stat. 1108.

In subsection (b), reference to payment made on the basis of a “monthly” rate is omitted since section 5504(b), former section 944(c), no longer provides for converting a basic annual rate to a basic monthly rate.

Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.

July 18, 1966, Pub. L. 89–504, §102(a), 80 Stat. 288. Amendments 1993—Subsec. (a)(1). Pub. L. 103–89 struck out “, except an employee covered by the performance management and recognition system established under chapter 54,” after “whom this subchapter applies”.

Each employee to whom this subchapter applies, except an employee covered by the performance management and recognition system established under chapter 54 of this title, is entitled to basic pay in accordance with the General Schedule.”

1984—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 98–615 substituted “the performance management and recognition system established under chapter 54” for “the merit pay system established under section 5402”.

“(5) If the officer or employee, at any time during the period beginning on the effective date of this section [see Effective Date of 1967 Amendment note under this section], and ending on the date of enactment of this title [Dec. 16, 1967], was promoted from one grade under the General Schedule contained in section 5332(a) of title 5, United States Code [subsec. (a) of this section] to another such grade at a rate which is above the minimum rate thereof, his rate of basic pay shall be adjusted retroactively from the effective date of this section to the date on which he was so promoted, on the basis of the rate which he was receiving during the period from such effective date to the date of such promotion and, from the date of such promotion, on the basis of the rate for that step of the appropriate grade of the General Schedule contained in the amendment made by subsection (a) of this section [amending the section] which corresponds numerically to the step of the grade of the General Schedule to which such officer or employee was promoted as in effect (without regard to this title) at the time of such promotion.

“(6) If the officer or employee, at any time during the period beginning on the effective date of this section and ending on the date of enactment of this title [Dec. 16, 1967] became subject to the General Schedule and his rate of basic pay was set above the minimum rate of the grade on the basis of a previously earned rate above such minimum rate, his rate of basic pay shall be adjusted retroactively to the date on which he became subject to the General Schedule on the basis of the rate of the appropriate grade of the General Schedule contained in this section which corresponds numerically to the rate of the grade at which the pay of such officer or employee was set at the time he became subject to the General Schedule.”
