                However, grade is also used to define salary. USAJOBS search uses grades for the General Schedule (GS) pay plan ( http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages).

                For jobs that use a different pay plan than the GS schedule, USAJOBS will derive the corresponding grade by using the minimum and maximum salary and the wages for the GS schedule for the Rest of the United States (for 2014, see: http//www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/14Tables/html/RUS.aspx).

                For federal employees, especially those who have a GS pay plan, searching by grade is extremely useful since they would already know which grades they are or qualify for. However, for non-GS employees, searching by salary is much simpler.

            However, grade is also used to define salary. USAJOBS search uses grades for the General Schedule (GS) pay plan ( http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages).

            For jobs that use a different pay plan than the GS schedule, USAJOBS will derive the corresponding grade by using the minimum and maximum salary and the wages for the GS schedule for the Rest of the United States (for 2014, see: http//www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/14Tables/html/RUS.aspx).

            For federal employees, especially those who have a GS pay plan, searching by grade is extremely useful since they would already know which grades they are or qualify for. However, for non-GS employees, searching by salary is much simpler.
