Purpose

The purpose of this quick reference guide is to step through the process of creating Award Classifications and Levels. The intended audience for this document is System Administrators/Standard users. The Award Classification and Levels record is used to define various classifications for Minimum Pay Rates and if required, the levels within each classification. Award Classifications are mandatory for creating Minimum Pay Rates, and Award Levels may optionally be created to further refine pay tiers within a Classification. These records must be created before the creation of Minimum Pay Rates and Assignment Rate Template Groups, as they will be used by automation to categorise and identify the Minimum Pay Rate record that should be applied when creating Assignment Rates for an Assignment.
