What the connector can do

• lookup_gs_pay · General Schedule pay lookup. Find the OPM locality pay table and GS salary rates for a city, duty station or county.
• lookup_special_salary_rates · VA special salary rate lookup. Search VA’s published special salary rate workbook (GS and GS hybrid Title 38) by owning facility station, duty location, occupational series, schedule title, salary administration plan (SAP) or grade.
• lookup_fws_pay · Federal Wage System pay lookup. Find hourly Federal Wage System rates (WG, WL, WS) by county and state or by DCPAS wage schedule code, for the schedule in effect on a date (default today).
• calculate_two_step_promotion · GS two-step promotion calculation. Calculate GS promotion pay under 5 CFR 531.214: locality, VA special-rate and OPM 001M schedules at the current and proposed worksites, standard and alternate methods, and the higher payable rate, with the worksheet.
• calculate_maximum_payable_rate · Maximum payable rate (highest previous rate) calculation. Calculate the MPR step ceiling under 5 CFR 531.221(b) and (d) for a new GS position from a prior Federal rate: a prior GS grade and step on a historical base table, a verified GS underlying rate, non-GS Federal basic pay (annual or hourly), or a prior FWS rate from a DCPAS schedule.
• determine_action_type · GS ↔ FWS action type (ordinary permanent moves only). For one situation only: decide whether an ordinary permanent move between the General Schedule and the Federal Wage System, within the same agency and without grade or pay retention, is a promotion, reassignment or change to lower grade (OPM GPPA Chapter 14 decision table).
• find_qualification_standard · VA qualification standards. Find VA Title 38 and hybrid Title 38 qualification standards by series, occupation, grade or assignment, and read a chosen standard’s requirements overview and exact source wording with VA PDF page links.
• find_personnel_action_coding · Personnel action coding. Find the nature-of-action code (NOAC) and legal authority for a personnel action.
• search_handbook_contents · VA Handbook 5005 / 5007 contents. Search the headings of VA Handbook 5005 (Staffing) or VA Handbook 5007 (Pay Administration, master plus later changes) and get each match’s citation and a link to VA’s official PDF at the exact page..

Answers are reference information from published OPM, VA and DCPAS tables, not pay decisions. Each answer names its source and the data snapshot it used. The connector keeps nothing and never needs employee names or identifiers.
