If you are promoted to a higher grade on the GS-scale, when does the pay raise happen? For example, do all pay raises take effect in January? This may be agency specific; anecdotes welcomed.

The pay raise is effective upon the start of the promotion. So if you’re promoted from a GS 14 to a GS 15, then the pay raise is effective upon the first pay period as a GS 15.

Hm. I believe it should happen at the time of promotion in all cases. Im not entirely sure what you’re asking, but I know people hired in August who would have their GS step and grade increases occur that time of year. Though it would take effect maybe in september (because of the way the pay cycle runs).

Wait at least a yr. Then apply for the higher level, once getting a TO bring it to your superior and negotiate for promotion. That's how I've done it so far.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…

I applied for two positions at a district court that say ‘open until filled’. I’m going on a cruise in a few weeks and don’t want to miss hearing from HR.
The posting says due to the high number of applicants do not follow up, you will be contacted if chosen for an interview.
How much will it hurt me to email and explain that I will be unavailable from 9/5 to 9/16 but I am extremely interested and don’t want to miss hearing from them if I have a chance for the position?
