To review NSPS FAQs answered by NSPS Transition Office: http://www.cpms.osd.mil/nsps/faqs.html

The Department is aware that employees have many questions about the transition, particularly regarding job classification and pay. Some decisions have been made:

• Classification specialists, or supervisors and managers with delegated classification authority, will determine an employee’s grade upon transition from NSPS based on the employee’s assigned duties and responsibilities. For example, if a position classifies as a GS-13 under the General Schedule, then the employee’s grade will be a GS-13 when he or she transitions to the GS system.
• NSPS employees who are paid a salary that exceeds Step 10, the highest step of their pay grade under the GS system, will retain their pay upon transition.
