A research copy — for the controlling text, always check the official state or federal source. Not legal advice.

Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, each agency shall place each position under its jurisdiction in its appropriate class and grade in conformance with standards published by the Office of Personnel Management or, if no published standards apply directly, consistently with published standards. When facts warrant, an agency may change a position which it has placed in a class or grade under this section from that class or grade to another class or grade. Subject to subchapter VI of chapter 53 of this title, these actions of an agency are the basis for pay and personnel transactions until changed by certificate of the Office.
(Pub. L. 89–554, Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 453; Pub. L. 95–454, title VIII, § 801(a)(3)(E), title IX, § 906(a)(2), (3), Oct. 13, 1978, 92 Stat. 1222, 1224.)
The words “to which this chapter applies” are omitted as unnecessary in view of section 5102. The words “Subject to section 5337 of this title” are added to reflect the qualification imposed by that section.
Standard changes are made to conform with the definitions applicable and the style of this title as outlined in the preface to the report.
