!!!TRACK EXPERIENCE AND STEP RATES

The Track Experience and Step Rates (USEP) form accumulates experience, handles wage stepping logic based on experience, generates personnel actions for master file wage changes, and updates/generates pay lines to reflect wage changes.

This process should be run after all pays have been audited since experience could be affected by sundry transactions that are picked up by [UPAUDT].

In update mode, the USEP process physically updates each employee’s experience records (ISEP) and determines if any wage stepping is needed.  

If wage stepping is required [USEP creates a PA|PA_TYPE_USEP] and creates/updates pay lines to reflect the wage change.   However, USEP does not update the employee’s assignment wage rate; the [USPPA] process must be run to accomplish this.
