Compensation

Pay

PMFs are initially hired to Federal agencies at the GS-9, GS-11 or GS-12 level (or equivalents). Although actual salaries vary by geographic location, the base salaries for these grades are as follows:

The job opportunity announcement for the PMF Class of 2012 application shows a salary range specific to the Washington, DC, metro area.  These figures are as of January 2011; salary tables are updated annually and posted to OPM's website at the beginning of the calendar year. For the most current information on Federal pay by location, please visit OPM's Salary Tables webpage

Promotions

While in the PMF Program, you may become eligible for promotion.  Eligibility for promotion will be determined by the policies and criteria adopted by your employing agency for the PMF program, which may differ from the policies and criteria that apply to other positions.  If your agency's policies would permit this, it is possible you could even be promoted into a position within a "career ladder" that extends beyond GS-12; you just can't be promoted past a GS-13 until you have completed all program requirements, been certified by the Executive Resource Board, and converted into a full-time, permanent position.
