To automate the process of moving employees through levels within job types and job steps
Your organization might use job steps to define levels within a job type or pay rate. For example, you might have a job type electrician that contains four job steps:
Apprentice 1
Apprentice 2
Journeyman
Master electrician
To simplify the process of tracking job steps to employees, you can set up your Payroll system to move an employee through predefined steps in a job or pay rate. After the employee has worked a specified number of hours or days in one job type or step, the system promotes the employee to the next job type or step.
You can review the step progression history for employees and correct it if necessary.
Step progression includes:
Entering step progression information
Working with step progression history
