Most DCAA employees are paid according to the General Schedule (GS) Classification and Pay System. Salaries may vary by geographic location. Your salary may be increased by approved annual adjustments in the Federal pay system, as well as by periodic increases based on successful performance.  

You will be paid on a biweekly basis (26 pay periods a year), with your salary check sent directly to a bank or other financial institution for deposit in your checking and/or savings accounts. Deductions from your salary are made for Federal income tax, State and/or local income taxes in some areas, Medicare and Social Security, and retirement. You may also have deductions for things such as health benefits, life insurance, Thrift Savings Plan, Savings Bonds, and/or charitable donations through the Combined Federal Campaign.
