Specifying Rate-based Grades

Define rate-based salary grades to associate a range of salary values with a specific grade sequence. This enables you for example, to pay security officers between $45,000 and $47,000 depending on seniority and skill level. The sequence is the exact salary value in the range to apply. In this case, sequence 1 could have a value of $45,000 and apply to entry level security officers. Sequence 2 could have a value of $46,000 for security officers with more than two years of experience.
