Attached is our report on Senior Executive Service (SES) performance ratings, awards, and salaries for FY 2004. We have also included a summary of FY 2001, 2002, and 2003 ratings and awards for comparison purposes. The data for the SES members of agency Offices of the Inspector General is included in the overall agency numbers for 2004.
We have also included, for the very first time, data on SES salaries that is reflective of the transition to the new SES pay-for-performance system which took effect in 2004. As you know, an agency that has an SES appraisal system that makes meaningful distinctions in the performance ratings and pay of their SES members, as certified by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) with concurrence from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has the authority to increase the base pay of its highest-performing SES members up to level II of the Executive Schedule. Thirty-three systems were granted such certification in 2004, of which thirty-two systems received certification on a provisional basis, and one system received full certification. We fully expect the results of the 2005 rating cycle to reflect continuing improvement in the management of SES performance.
Within the next few weeks we plan to request submission of FY 2005 agency data on SES and senior level (SL) and scientific and professional (ST) employees via email. At that time, forms and instructions necessary for the annual report will be provided to your staffs.
For additional guidance, Chief Human Capital Officers and Human Resources Directors should contact Mr. Hughes Turner, Deputy Associate Director, Center for Leadership and Executive Resources Policy, at (202) 606-1811 or Ms. Quasette Crowner of the same office at (202) 606-8046. Staff-level inquiries should be referred to the appropriate OPM Human Capital Officer.
