We're not on the typical 'GS' scale as the labs are run by contractors for DOE. However, we do have a compensation table with grades and steps similar to the one posted in this thread.
The apparent goal is to move everyone towards the middle steps of each grade as quickly as possible. But, this leads to individuals at a lower step getting bigger raises than individuals at a higher step (both in same grade) if their annual reviews grade out similar.
