Adding Steps

The product comes with an extensive list of values for grades and steps. There are 88 steps (01-88) as well as entries for designating no step (99-No Step) or not applicable (00-Not Applicable, No Step).

If your pay plan requires grade or step values other than the supplied ones, you can enter them using the Lookup Values window.

Note: The pay plans for Administrative Law Judges (AL) and Executive Pay (EX) are set up with numeric step designations. However, when the system prints the Notification of Personnel Action, it replaces the numeric steps for AL pay plans with alphabetical steps (A-L), and the steps for EX pay plans with roman numerals.
