Setting Up Pay Grade Steps Using a Multiplier

Access the Pay Grade Step Table form.

To set up pay grade steps using a multiplier:

1. Complete the Pay Class (H/S/P) field:

2. Complete any of these fields to define information that applies to all (or most) of the pay grade steps:

   • Union Code

   • Locality

   • Effective Date

   • Std Hrs/Day

   • Std Days/Year

3. Complete the Base Rate field:

4. Complete these fields in the detail area for each step that you need to set up:

   • Pay Grade

   • Grade Step

   • Rate Mult

5. Complete these optional fields:

   • Next Pay Grade

   • Next Pay Grade Step

6. To define information for this step that varies from the information that you entered for the pay class, complete these fields in the detail area:

   • Loc (Locality)

   • Union Code

   • Effective Date

   • Hrs Day

   • Days Year

7. Click the Calculate button.

Effective Date

Enter the date on which the rate associated with a pay grade step becomes effective.

Std Days/Year

Enter the number of workdays in a year. The number of standard days per year multiplied by the number of hours per day equals the standard hours per year.

When you set up the human resources constants (System Options, in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne) and you use the pay grade step table as the default source for the pay rate, the system calculates the salary for an employee by multiplying the standard days per year by the employee hourly rate.

Step Rate

A value that specifies the pay rate that is assigned to a pay grade and step. In certain programs, such as the Pay Grade Step Table program (P082003), you can also use a rate multiplier in combination with this value so that the system automatically calculates the pay rate. For example, you can enter a percentage value that the system uses to increase a pay rate.

Rate Mult

This number is multiplied by the Base Rate to calculate a new step rate. This is not a stored field.
