Maximum Service

The maximum number of months associated with the pay progression code for pay event rates, which are based on length of service.

For example, the regular rate of pay for an employee employed between zero and six months might be lower than the rate for someone employed over six months. The system calculates length of service based on the event date and the pay progression start date recorded for the employee on the Employment Status Maintenance (ESMT) transaction.

Minimum Service

The minimum number of months associated with the pay progression code for pay event rates, which are based on length of service.

For example, an employee has zero months of service until one full month has elapsed. A pay progression rule applying to the first six months of service begins with month zero and ends with month five.

Pay Progression

The identification code associated with the pay progression that is used to identify a length of service so that the appropriate rate of pay can be determined on the Pay Policy Rate (PPRT) page for table-driven pay employees.
