Change Step and Grade

This action type lets the user change the schedule, grade, and step for the purposes of moving the position to a different grade. For example, the position starts at grade H step 12, which is the highest possible step, and needs to move to grade G step 1. This action type will track the change in salary which results from a change in schedule, grade, and step.

No default is specified for this action type.

End dates are not allowed.

This action type is only available if Step and Grade is enabled.

Example

Assuming an even monthly spread method (Period's Spread Factor/Total Spread Factors) = 1/12

Grade H Step 12 Salary = $12,000
Base FTE = 1
Grade G Step 1 Salary = $12,600
Grade M Step 21 Hourly Rate = $10
Base Hours = 40
Pay Periods = 52
Grade L Step 1 Hourly Rate = $11

This is the calculation rule for a salaried position:

(New Step & Grade Salary - Current Salary) * Base FTE * (Period's Spread Factor / Total Spread Factors)

($12,600 - $12,000) * 1 * (1/12) = $50 per period

This is the calculation rule for an hourly position:

(New Step & Grade pay rate - Current pay rate) * Current Base Hours * Pay Periods* (Period's Spread Factor/Total Spread Factors)

($11 - $10) * 40 * 52 * (1/12) = $173.33 per period
