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.
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.
