How to interpret pay charts
There are pay grades 5 through 32 – each with a defined entry rate and maximum rate. Each pay grade has 15 steps. Usually new employees start at Step 1 (the probationary rate) in the assigned pay grade and typically serve a six-month probationary period. Upon successfully completing this probationary period the employee moves to Step 2 of the pay grade (known as the end-of probation rate) and continues to advance through the steps based upon a time-in-step system as outlined in the current bargaining agreement.
