__Wage Scales__ are used to hold the exact value of an employee’s wage, and to maintain a historical record of the changes to these wages over time. Scales are linked to units which are usually union agreements. If a scale is the same for more than one unit, the system allows you to apply the scale to both units as separate independent scales. This allows you to later modify one scale without affecting the other. Wage scales may be created and updated through the Maintain Wage Scales/Steps (ISWS) form.

;[Unit|UNIT_CODE]:Each scale must be associated with a unit which may be identified in this field. Unit_Code is a 16-character alphanumeric mandatory field which must be filled by making a selection from the LOV provided. The values in this lexicon were created in the Define Units ([IDUN]) form.

;[Wage Step Rule|WAGE_STEP_RULE]:The stepping rule for the wage scale may be identified here. For one unit, there may be more than one step rule which will be assigned to different groups within the unit. The employee will be assigned a step rule according to their group. This step rule will then be applied to their assignment scale/step. It is, however, possible to have different wage stepping rules within one group. This is accomplished by indicating the rule on the scale. Wage_Step_Rule is a 16-character alphanumeric mandatory field which you may fill with a selection from the LOV.
;[Wage Step Rule|WAGE_STEP_RULE_CODE]:The stepping rule for the wage scale may be identified here. For one unit, there may be more than one step rule which will be assigned to different groups within the unit. The employee will be assigned a step rule according to their group.
