!!!SALARY MATRICES
This form is specifically designed to support the Matrix Mass Wage Update ([USMCSA])process and allows a step within a scale to be associated to a cell within the matrix. This process allows the steps of several different scales to be updated when one cell is changed.

Define Rate Matrices data is maintained on the [P2K_SA_RATE_MATRICES] and
[P2K_SA_RATE_CELLS] tables.
