Special Rate Tables
OPM-approved special salary rates for Federal employees in shortage categories or hard-to-fill positions. Agencies and payroll providers: this beta site does not change existing pay tables so no payroll updates are required. We'd love your feedback on the new site itself. Read more.
Individuals cannot request a special rate. Requests for special rates must come to OPM through agency headquarters.
Information on how agencies can make special rates requests can be found here.
