Civil servant grades are associated with a salary grade table. The component of a salary grade tables is the step. Each step has a corresponding gross index and (usually) the number of months before the next step increase. When employees move to a new grade, they are positioned in a step in the salary grade table. Their base compensation that is associated with the step is determined by one of the following:
Gross index and increased index.
When entering the gross index, the system retrieves the corresponding increased index.
Annual compensation value for substep.
Increased index.
Reference (when the type of point is prefixed by X).
Some grades in Manage French Public Sector are partly or totally classified as off-scale groups that use a scale that is not based on the number of points. The system uses letters to refer to these rate groups. In this case, the specific steps can be divided in substeps. Scale letters and substeps characterize these classifications.
Understanding Salary Grade Table (SGT) Definition and SGT/Scales Correspondence
A salary grade table is composed of a series of steps or substeps and the definitions of advancement rules between them. A salary grade table that can contain substeps is called an off-scale salary grade table. A salary grade table must also identify whether or not it is for the public sector and must be able to accept an entry bonus.
A salary grade table can contain a salary scale. It is then composed of the scale's steps that are associated with the same gross indexes. When no scale is associated with a salary grade table, such as with off-scale salary grade tables, you must manually enter the steps and indexes.
According to the salary grade table's type of point and public sector salary grade table status, the step is associated with a gross index, an increased index, or a reference.
