Guidelines for Loading Progression Grade Rates

You need to understand some key aspects of progression grade rates to load them successfully using HCM Data Loader.

Caution: You load progression grade rates only if your grades don't have steps.

Before You Load Progression Grade Rates

These referenced objects need to exist in the destination environment:

• Grade and Grade Set

• Legislative Data Group

• Progression Grade Ladder

Progression Grade Rate Names

When you create a progression grade ladder on the Progression Grade Ladders page, you're also creating the linked progression grade rate. The rate has the same name as the ladder.

A progression grade ladder can have only one progression grade rate, and both objects have the same legislative data group. When you create a progression grade rate using HCM Data Loader, give it the same name and LDG as the linked progression grade ladder.

Progression Grade Rates in the Application

You can create and maintain progression grade rates with the Progression Grade Ladders task in the Compensation work area. And, you can load them using HCM Data Loader.

You can also view progression grade rates using the Grade Rates task, because progression grade rates and grade rates share the same underlying tables. But, you can't use any rates created with the Grade Rates task in grade step progression because they're missing key values for progression processing.
