TSA pay and shift schedule at Salt Lake City International Airport
What a Transportation Security Officer is paid at SLC, and the shifts TSA publishes for this airport — from the agency’s own vacancy announcement and its own fact sheet.
TSA publishes a fact sheet for every airport it screens, and it sets out the tours worked at that one. Here is what SLC publishes, and what it looks like in the app.
TSA's own airport fact sheet states that "SLC is currently assessing candidates for full-time and part-time positions", with "20-40 hours per week tour of duty, four (4) to five (5) days".
Sunday to Saturday, twice — the same order the calendar runs in.

The two days off in the month above are an example, and that is the point. One band covering everything from a twenty-hour week to a full one, on four or five days. Salt Lake is a Delta hub with a main checkpoint open from 3:30 a.m. to 1 a.m., which is the span those days have to be found in. You mark your own two days once and the year fills itself in.
What is inside this figure. The 5% retention incentive is inside this figure and is unique to Salt Lake City; TSA states its continuation depends on annual approval and funding, so the range is not a promise the way the 17.06% locality is.
