Broadband levels are designed to facilitate pay progression and to allow more competitive recruitment of quality candidates at differing rates within the appropriate broadband levels. Competitive promotions will be less frequent, and movement through the broadband levels will be a more seamless process. There are no scheduled Within-Grade Increases as pay progression through the broadband levels is based on CCS assessments and subsequent pay adjustments. Special salary rates no longer apply to Lab Demo employees.
Employees are eligible for future locality pay increases for their geographical area.
