Book excerpt: In 2013, about 1.6 million employees (about 80% of the government's civilian white-collar workforce) were covered by the General Schedule (GS) classification system -- the federal government's system for defining and organizing federal positions, primarily to assign rates of pay. Almost since its inception in 1949, questions have been raised about the ability of the GS system to keep pace with the evolving nature of government work. This report examined: (1) the attributes of a modern, effective classification system and how the GS system compares with the modern systems' attributes; (2) trends in agencies and occupations covered by the GS system and the pay difference for selected alternative systems; and (3) the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM's) administration and oversight of the GS system.

Book excerpt: The GS classification system is a mechanism for organizing work, notably for the purposes of determining pay, based on a position's duties, responsibilities, and qualification requirements, among other things. The GS system was created by the Classification Act of 1949 and was later codified in Title 5 of the U.S. Code. The origins of the GS system can be traced to the 1880s when merit replaced political patronage as the method of filling federal jobs. Classification was seen as a necessary first step in the equitable treatment of applicants and employees.

Book excerpt: "Almost since its inception in 1949, questions have been raised about the ability of the GS system-the federal government's classification system for defining and organizing federal positions-to keep pace with the evolving nature of government work. GAO was asked to review the GS classification system. This report examined: (1) the attributes of a modern, effective classification system and how the GS system compares with the modern systems' attributes; (2) trends in agencies and occupations covered by the GS system and the pay difference for selected alternative systems; and (3) OPM's administration and oversight of the GS system. GAO analyzed personnel data from 1988 to 2013, conducted a literature review, compared legislation to OPM procedures, and interviewed subject matter specialists and OPM officials, selected to represent public policy groups, government employee unions, and academia, among others.

Book excerpt: "GAO's analysis of subject matter specialists' comments, related literature, and interviews with Office of Personnel Management (OPM) officials identified a number of important characteristics for a modern, effective classification system, which GAO consolidated into eight key attributes. GAO's analysis shows that in concept the current General Schedule (GS) classification system's design incorporates several key attributes including internal and external equity, transparency, simplicity, and rank in position. However, as OPM implemented the system, the attributes of transparency, internal equity, simplicity, flexibility, and adaptability are reduced. This occurs, in part, because some attributes are at odds with one another so fully achieving one attribute comes at the expense of another. Thus, OPM, working with its stakeholders, is challenged to determine how best to optimize each attribute."--
