-experience. The specific requirements will always be listed in the job
-posting. Salaries of federal employees are public information, and your

 ## Understanding Grade Levels
 
-Federal employees on the general schedule range from GS-1 to GS-15. GS grade levels specify a fixed compensation range for a particular
-position, in particular geographic localities, within the federal
-government. Understanding the relationship between GS grade level,
-location, and compensation is important to understanding how salaries
-work at TTS.
-
-Each GS grade level contains a series of 10 steps. New employees are
-usually hired at Step 1 of a GS grade. However, in special
-circumstances, agencies may authorize a higher step rate for a
-newly-appointed federal employee based on a [special need of the agency
-or superior qualifications of the prospective
-employee](https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/pay-administration/fact-sheets/superior-qualifications-and-special-needs-pay-setting-authority/).

-Use this [OPM General Schedule (GS) Salary
-Calculator](https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/2022/general-schedule-gs-salary-calculator/)
-to help you understand how GS level, step and locality affect
-compensation. The 2022 salary cap for all GS employees is $176,300 per year. You
-cannot be offered more than this under any circumstance.

 ## Raises and Bonuses
 
-A step increase is the most common kind of raise for GS employees, and
-the amount of time between step increases is dependent on the step. As a
-GS employee, you have to wait one year to increase to a step 2, 3, or 4.
-You must wait two years before increasing to step 5, 6, or 7. Lastly,
-you must wait three years before increasing to step 8, 9, or 10. This
-means that if you join TTS at step 1, you’ll proceed to step 2 the
-following year. If you join TTS at step 6, it will take two years to
-progress to step 7.
-
-Bonuses are generally assessed after the year-end review process in late
-September and are awarded based on your performance review results. You
-must be a TTS employee for at least three months to get a performance
-review. Bonuses are awarded as either a small percentage of your annual
-salary or through allotment of additional paid leave.
