Wg 4749 08 Pay Scale – wg-4749-08 pay scale, The Federal Wage System (FWS) was produced to make sure that the pay of Federal blue-collar workers depended on par with the dominating rates provided by the economic sector in each local wage location.
Prior to the introduction of FWS, no central authority existed for establishing wage equity for Federal craft, trade, and laboring staff members. President Johnson then bought the former Civil Service Commission in 1965 to work with both labor organizations and Federal companies to study the different agency systems and integrate them into a single, simply, and reasonable wage system.
