OCCUPATION CODES



For Postal Service employees, the occupation code consists of the characters "PS" plus the first four numbers of the appropriate occupation code. For all other Federal employees, the code begins with the two letters of the employee's pay plan (i.e., "GS", "GM", "WG", etc.) followed by the four numbers of the occupation series. For workers who perform services for the Federal government but who do not have job titles which fall under the usual job classification systems, a list of "non-standard" occupation codes and titles follows. Each code begins with the characters "??" instead of the usual pay plan letters.
