There's no level above GS-15 per se, but there is a higher tier of civil servant called SES (Senior Executive Service), which is approximately equivalent to Admiral/General-level rank in the military.
I believe the pay for SES and above (e.g. appointed officials) is defined by what's called the Executive Schedule.
- phaus 14y agoSES is what I was thinking of. As you noticed, I'm not that familiar with how it works, I was just aware that there is something that pays more than the standard GS payscale.
- lawnchair_larry 14y agoRight, it's definitely respectable, but the costs were projected to be in the millions. Generally people making 150k/year or so cannot afford this. FYI there is a hard cap on the payscale (according to wikipedia) of 155k. After base+adjustments+modifiers, it cannot exceed level IV of the Executive Schedule or something to that effect.
