ADMINISTRATIVE PAY SCHEDULE
RECOMMENDATIONS
Additional pay plan changes for jobs in the AS pay schedule will be implemented in 2026 7 and reflected in next year’s report. For this reason, the recommendations for this year will focus on making targeted adjustments to the AS pay schedule as follows: • Adjust pay grade maximums for the AS-609 to AS-611 To improve market competitiveness for jobs assigned to these three pay grades, the maximum of the AS-609 is recommended to be 14% above the maximum of the AS-608, and then the standard differential of 7% will apply to the maximums of the AS-610 and AS-611. This will result in maximums increasing by approximately 6.5% and midpoints increasing by approximately 4.15% for the three pay grades highlighted in the table below. The range spread of the three adjusted pay grades will be approximately 83%. There will be no immediate cost impact to implement these changes.

• Add three new pay grades to include AS-630, AS-631, and AS-632 This change will extend the upper end of the AS pay schedule and provide space for the appropriate internal alignment for jobs that may warrant higher pay grades in the future. The range spreads and minimum differentials for the new pay grades will be consistent with the existing highest AS pay grade.
