Add Salary Grades

 

If your organization defines salary grades or bands -- pay ranges for one or more jobs -- add those grades to the system. (If your organization does not define salary grades, you can skip this step.) A job can then be linked to its corresponding salary grade. Only the HR Manager or System Administrator can add or edit salary grades. 

 

1. From the home page or left menu, click Administer Positions

 

2. In the "Create Job Structure" section, click Add Salary Grades

 

3. Either click Add New Salary Grade or select an existing salary grade to edit. 

 

4. Enter the Name, or identifier, of the salary grade. 

 

5. Enter any Notes to record about the salary grade. 

 

6. Select a currency for the starting salary and enter the amount of the Start salary (the lowest salary in the band). 

 

7. Select a currency for the ending salary and enter the amount of the End salary (the highest salary in the band).

 

8. Select a currency for the midpoint salary and enter the amount of the Midpoint salary (the midpoint is the average salary in the band offered to a new hire, which may or may not be the equivalent of the true average of the starting and ending salaries). This is optional.

 

9. Click Confirm and confirm that the salary grade entered is correct. If it is not correct, click Edit to change it. If it is, click Save to save it. 

 

Troubleshooting 

 

An error message appears when Confirm is clicked. 

 

Make sure that the salary grade name, starting salary and ending salary have been entered and that the salary grade has not previously been entered. Required fields are outlined in red. Fill in any missing information or change the name and try saving again. If you do not want to add the salary grade after all, click Return (do not save changes)

 

The correct currency is not available for selection. 

 

The currency must be added to the system by an HR Manager (see Add a currency).
