Classification
The NSPS classification architecture is designed so that management officials can readily make classification decisions and employees and supervisors can understand the rationale.
Under the NSPS classification system, every GS position within DoD will be assigned to a Career Group, Pay Schedule and Pay Band. This flexible classification system was designed, in part, to allow greater movement both within and outside Career Groups and to develop and enhance employee skills and talents.
