Judiciary Salary Plan | Court Personnel System | Court Reporters | Special Rate Schedules
Judiciary pay is made up of base pay plus either a locality pay component (for positions in the contiguous 48 states) or a cost-of-living allowance component (for states and US territories outside the contiguous US). There are multiple pay systems, but the majority of the Judiciary employees are covered by a pay banded system called the Court Personnel System. Pay is set at the local court level and is based on qualifications for the job such as length or quality of experience, specific job skills, and/or education level.
Court Personnel System
The Court Personnel System (CPS) covers most court employees who work in appellate court units, bankruptcy and district court clerks' offices, and probation and pretrial services offices. The CPS classification system provides 12 pay bands. Each band includes a developmental range allowing employees to advance at a faster pace while they learn the job, and a full performance range. The bands provide considerable flexibility to courts in setting pay for their employees.
