Context: I’m a US citizen and our government is going to hire and train the next batch of Air Traffic Controllers. When explaining the process and what the pay would be like etc, the site mentions “Locality Pay.” I have quite literally never heard of the term before, and when I look it up everything just skips straight to “How does it work?” But what is it???

ATCs are all public sector jobs serving the FAA and on a public sector payband. The job has a base salary and then a locality adjustment on top of it. It is always an addition, never a subtraction from base pay.
