;[Wage Step Rule|WAGE_STEP_RULE_CODE]:The name of the stepping rule is entered here. For one unit, there may be one or many step rules. These rules are then assigned to different groups within the unit. The employee, through the group chosen for them, is assigned a step rule. This step rule applies to their assignment scale/step, which defaults from job/position. The Wage Step rule may also be attached to a specific wage scale, in which case it will override the rule on the group. Wage_Step_Rule_CODE is a 16-character alphanumeric mandatory field that you must manually enter.

;[Unit|UNIT_CODE]:Wage steps, and wage step rules, must be associated with a unit. You must either enter the unit/union name or use the LOV in this field to identify the associated unit. Unit is a 16-character alphanumeric mandatory field that you may select from the list of values created in the Define Units ([IDUN]) form.

;[Minimum Step Days|MINIMUM_STEP_DAYS]:This field shows the minimum number of days that must pass between movements from one step to another. This situation may apply when an employee reaches the qualifications for stepping very quickly (i.e. if a certification is received only a few days after hire). The minimum step days would prevent this employee from moving up the scale more quickly than allowed. In addition, stepping may be done on a particular day of the year (Jan. 1, or Sept. 1), in which case it may be necessary to stop recently hired employees from getting a step increase too early. Minimum_Step_Days is an optional 4-character numeric amount that may be manually entered. A blank entry here is considered “0 days”.
