Through this activity, you can create a grade and modify an existing grade.

Creating a Grade: The employees in an organization are classified into different grade sets on the basis of various quantitative parameters. For example, while all managers can be grouped into one grade set,  there can be separate grade sets for administrative personnel, clerical staff.

A grade is a qualitative unit, which rationally differentiates the employees belonging to the same grade set.

Each grade in a grade set is made distinct  by attributing a different pay scale, rate of increment and other privileges to it, based on  certain eligibility criteria. Subsequently, when employees of a grade set are attached to different grades, the differences in their compensation structures are rationalized.

For example, if the grade set ‘Managers’ comprises of grades M1 to M4, then all managers attached to M1 enjoy the same pay scale, rate of increment, other benefits and privileges.  There may however exist differences in the compensation terms and conditions  for  managers attached to grades M2, M3 or M4.

In addition, grade is the indicator of the position of the employee in the hierarchical structure of the organization.

You can also choose to activate or  deactivate the grade, as required. If you activate the grade, it would be available for use in other transactions.

Modifying a grade: In this activity, you can also modify the details pertaining to a grade apart from creating a new grade.
