Guidelines for Loading Grade Ladders
A grade ladder is a sequence of grades, where the grade order represents a worker's progression. This topic describes aspects of the Grade Ladder object that you must understand to load grade ladders successfully.
The Grade-Ladder Component Hierarchy
The grade ladder is made up of these components:
-
Grade Ladder.
-
Grades in Ladder. Include one component of this type for each grade, regardless of the grade ladder type.
-
Step Rate. Include at least one component of this type for grade ladders of type STEP.
-
Step Rate Value. Include one component of this type for each step in a grade ladder of type STEP.
Loading Translated Grade-Ladder and Step-Rate Names
Supply grade-ladder and step-rate names in the language of the user who's loading them. You supply a GradeLadderTranslation.dat file to translate grade-ladder names into other enabled languages once the grade ladders exist. You supply a StepRateTranslation.dat file to translate step-rate names. This example GradeLadderTranslation.dat file translates the name of an existing grade ladder. It identifies the grade ladder by its source key.

You can delete a Grade Ladder object using HCM Data Loader, provided that it's not referenced by another object, such as Assignment. Deleting a grade ladder doesn't delete the associated grades. However, if you delete a grade ladder with steps, then the associated step rates and step-rate values are deleted automatically. This example GradeLadder.dat file deletes an existing grade ladder. It identifies the grade ladder by its source key.
