WAGE_STEP_RULE_CODE is a 16-character alphanumeric field that identifies the stepping rule for a wage scale and determines the way that automatic step increases will be applied.
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.
