U.S. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

SENIOR EXECUTIVE SERVICE FACTS & FIGURES
Report on Senior Executive Service Pay for Performance for Fiscal
Year 2005

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Senior Executive Service (SES) Pay for Performance Report Fiscal Year (FY) 2005

This report reflects data on 6,834 career and non-career members of the Senior Executive Service. Of 6,410 rated, 5,906 are career
members of the SES.

Agencies continue to make steady progress in the second year of measuring executive achievement under modernized performance
management systems. Chart 1 shows progress in the differentiation of pay among SES members since 2004 when agencies with certified
SES appraisal systems were permitted to pay SES above Executive Schedule Level III.

The first two tables show a decrease of 16 - 17 percent in those rated at the highest level, continuing a trend toward increased distinctions in
ratings. Table 1 covers only career senior executives, while Table 2 includes non-career and limited term senior executives.

Agencies are exercising more rigor in implementing pay for performance. Table 3 shows that all reporting agencies now use appraisal
systems with at least one level above fully successful. It also demonstrates that SES compensation is performance sensitive since, on average,
higher-rated executives received higher performance awards and salary adjustments.

Table 4 shows that in FY 2005 salaries increased by 3.8 percent compared to 3.7 percent in FY 2004. Adjustment percents vary by agency
due to differing strategies, funding levels, and rating patterns.

The shift to pay for performance involves only modest increases in award amounts. Table 5 shows the average performance award increased
from $13,734 in FY 2004 to $13,814 in FY 2005. Awards vary by agency based on factors such as compensation strategy, funding, and
agency performance levels.
