How FWS pay works in New York
The Federal Wage System is the hourly pay system used for many federal trade, craft, and labor jobs. Unlike the salaried General Schedule pay tables, FWS pay is published as local hourly wage schedules with separate WG worker, WL leader, and WS supervisory rates.
This page lists the official regular-area schedules that DCPAS publishes for New York in 2026. Open the wage area that matches your county to see the full hourly tables, covered counties, official PDF, and related GS locality context. If you want a faster lookup path, use the FWS calculator.
Major federal sites behind these pay tables
OPM names one federal site for each wage area. That site is the main federal location used to anchor that pay table. If you know the base, depot, arsenal, or medical center name but not the wage-area name, these pages give you another path into the right pay table.

Wage areas in New York
Some wage areas split into more than one official schedule variant because different counties inside the same broader wage area align to different GS locality codes. For example, RUS means Rest of U.S. , while a named code such as BU points to a GS locality like Buffalo-Cheektowaga, NY . Use the county count and locality label to pick the right page.
