Step-in-Grade Pay Module

ECI offers a solution for the difficult task of managing scheduled pay increases that are based on length of service. This necessary, but often frustrating and labor-intensive task is required and must follow union guidelines that freeze rates for some and progress them for others. Inaccurate management and human error can lead to dissatisfied employees, higher turnover and union grievances.

Empower’s Step-in-Grade pay management system can minimize manual workload, increase payroll accuracy, track historical changes and provide management reports to help guide your structured pay policy. Highlights of this module include:

Automatic longevity-based pay increases for your entire organization eliminating the need to continually search for, and update employees that require rate changes.
Steps can occur after a predefined number of days, weeks, months or years.
Unlimited pay plans supported for management of even the most diverse workforce.
Unlimited steps within a pay plan ensure compliance for years to come.
Easy reference and reporting of current and historical information via Empower.
Management reports highlight future increases, current rates and employee status.
Easy-to-use functions that allow for client maintenance.
