To qualify for the SV-G Pay Band (equivalent to GS-10/11), you must have:

• At least one year of specialized experience which has equipped you with the particular knowledge, skills, and abilities to successfully perform the duties of a Supervisory Transportation Security Officer, and this is typically related to the duties of a Transportation Security Officer or Lead Transportation Security Officer. To be creditable, specialized experience must have been equivalent to the E band level or above.
• Six months of experience as a work leader, team leader, or supervisor in any type of work environment which demonstrates the possession of proficiency, or the potential to develop proficiency, in tasks such as:

  This experience may or may not have been gained concurrently with the specialized experience above. Credit for experience is given based on a 40-hour workweek.
