Understanding Wage Progression and Administer Compensation

Automatic step progression is a standard practice in the manufacturing industry and retail industry of providing new workers with increases based on the passage of time or actual time worked. The definition of actual time worked will vary by bargaining agreement. The formulas used for calculating increases also differ by agreement.

The wage progression feature provides the ability to define a wage progression rule that captures the advancement criteria and step calculations. You can then generate the step details reflecting a grade pay range. Batch processes gather and analyze worker data to determine when a worker is ready for advancement and will insert the appropriate Job and Compensation rows reflecting the new step and pay rate.
