Formed1979
The Senior Executive Service (SES)[1] is a position classification in the United States federal civil service equivalent to general officer or flag officer rank in the U.S. Armed Forces. It was created in 1979 when the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 went into effect under President Jimmy Carter.[2]
Characteristics
According to the Office of Personnel Management, the SES was designed to be a corps of executives selected for their leadership qualifications, serving in key positions just below the top presidential appointees as a link between them and the rest of the federal (civil service) workforce. SES positions are considered to be above the GS-15 level of the General Schedule, and below Level III of the Executive Schedule. Career members of the SES ranks are eligible for the Presidential Rank Awards program.[citation needed]
Up to 10% of SES positions can be filled as political appointments rather than by career employees.[3] About half of the SES is designated "Career Reserved", which can only be filled by career employees. The other half is designated "General", which can be filled by either career employees or political appointments as desired by the administration. Due to the 10% limitation, most General positions are still filled by career appointees.[4]
Senior level employees of several agencies are exempt from the SES but have their own senior executive positions; these include the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Transportation Security Administration, Federal Aviation Administration, Government Accountability Office, Members of the Foreign Service, and government corporations.
Adverse actions
SES career appointees have civil service protections; they may only be fired or suspended for more than 14 days for misconduct, neglect of duty, malfeasance, or failure to accept a directed reassignment or to accompany a position in a transfer of function. These adverse actions may be appealed to the Merit Systems Protection Board.[5]
An SES career appointee can also be reassigned within the SES, or from the SES into a competitive service position, based on performance ratings. A single unsatisfactory performance rating makes them eligible for reassignment, though it is not mandatory. However, they must be removed from the SES if they receive two unsatisfactory ratings in a period of five consecutive years, or two less than fully successful ratings within three consecutive years. Reassignments may not be appealed to the Merit Systems Protection Board.[5]
SES career appointees in the United States Department of Veterans Affairs have different procedures as a result of the Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act of 2017. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs has discretion to suspend, demote, remove, or take other actions against SES career appointees or other high-level executives if the Secretary determines that the individual’s misconduct or performance warrants such action, with abbreviated notice and appeals rights.[5]
By contrast, noncareer and limited-term SES appointees are generally not subject to removal protections and may be removed from the SES at any time.[5]
Pay rates
(Effective on the first day of the first applicable pay period beginning on or after January 1, 2025)[6]
MinimumMaximum
Agencies with a Certified SES Performance Appraisal System$150,160$225,700
Agencies without a Certified SES Performance Appraisal System$150,160$207,500
Unlike the General Schedule (GS) grades, SES pay is determined at agency discretion within certain parameters, and there is no locality pay adjustment.
The minimum pay level for the SES is set at 120 percent of the basic pay for GS-15 Step 1 employees ($150,160 for 2025).[7] The maximum pay level depends on whether or not the employing agency has a "certified" SES performance appraisal system:[8]
If the agency has a certified system, the maximum pay is set at Level II of the Executive Schedule ($225,700 for 2025).[6]
If the agency does not have a certified system, the maximum pay is set at Level III of the Executive Schedule ($207,500 for 2025).[6]
Total aggregate pay is limited to the salary of the Vice President of the United States ($289,400 for 2025).[6]
Prior to 2004, the SES used a six-level system. It was replaced with the current open band system on January 1, 2004.[9]
Cabinet - appointed by POTUS, and head of the departments
SES - Senior Executive Service - THE DAMN GATEKEEPERS, who prevent, delay, impeded, and fight against the orders of POTUS/Cabinet that they don't like, and stop the orders from the top to actually function down below at the Civil Service employee level; many of these are criminals, actively engaged in sedition at best, treason at worst -- probably taking orders from outside the Chain of Command (think: Soros, etc.)
Civil Service - workers/bureaucrats at the bottom, who carry out the functions of the federal government (unless they are blocked by SES)
There's much more to it. This is where big corps and government overlap.
Most are double dipping, and the money is used to circumvent the G and corrupt people.
Read up on Trenis Evans, how he was approached and offered 30k a month to remove himself from J6.
Kim Cheatle was appointed in around 01 by dick Cheney, then she worked at Pepsi, somehow became head of the SS, and then most likely went back to Pepsi or another cushion corporate gig. Guarantee she's still SES. I forgot who replaced her, but he was SES also.
