Adding Grades

The product comes with an extensive list of values for grades and steps. There are 66 grades (01-66) as well as several letter combinations (AA, BB, CA, CC, CM, DD, EE, MC, OC).

If your pay plan requires grade 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.
