All CA studies are done using the __ pay scale?

• A. Civilian
• B. Military
• C. General Schedule
• D. Senior Executive

Answer: (A)

CA studies evaluate civilian government positions and how they are paid, so they use the civilian pay scale. The military pay scale is for active-duty service members, not civilian staff, and while the General Schedule and Senior Executive are parts of the civilian system, the overarching category for these studies is the civilian pay scale. This alignment ensures consistency with how civilian jobs are classified and compensated across agencies.
