Use the Grade Step Placement window to place an employee on a grade step. When you open this window, information about the grade, grade ladder, and scale appears automatically. By default, the ceiling point is the one you defined for the grade. However, you can enter a special ceiling point for individual employees in the Assignment window.

   To place an employee on a grade step:

1. Set your effective date to the date when the placement should come into effect.

2. Select the point or step on which to place the employee assignment.

3. Select a reason for entering a placement, if required.

Incrementing Placements Automatically (without using grade ladders)

If you want to automatically increment the employee's placement, follow steps 4 and 5, otherwise go to step 6.

4. Check the Auto-Increment check box to increment the employee's placement when you run the Increment Progression Points process.

5. Specify the number of steps by which the placement grade is to be incremented in the Increment Number field.

6. Save your work.

   The Grade Step Placement window displays the rates you have defined for the pay scale, and the values corresponding to the selected progression point.
