Each grade has 10 step rates (steps 1-10) that are each worth approximately 3 percent of the employee's salary. Within-grade step increases are based on an acceptable level of performance and longevity (waiting periods of 1 year at steps 1-3, 2 years at steps 4-6, and 3 years at steps 7-9). It normally takes 18 years to advance from step 1 to step 10 within a single GS grade if an employee remains in that single grade.
Rule of thumb is that your long walk should not increase more that 10% per week, with the goal of walking at least 85 percent of the total length of the walk two weeks before the event. Do the math, and only choose an event that allows you to train well with plenty of time.
