Rate Grid Setup Guide

Rate Grids let you control the rate of a Position without needing to enter the rate directly on the position. You can setup a Rate Grid so that it increases the rate automatically after a specific date. This is beneficial because you can update the Rate Grid once and have the new rates applied to any position using that Rate Grid automatically.

For example,

If you had a salaried position with an annual pay increase, you could enter each pay-increase and the date they will occur as Effective Dates in the Rate Grid and the rates will automatically update.
