Create A Grade

Grades

From the Manage Grades page, create grades to record the level of compensation for workers.

You can do these actions.

  • Create grades for multiple pay components, such as salary, bonus, and overtime rates

  • Define one or more grades that are applicable for jobs and positions

This list of valid grades, combined with the settings for two profile options, enables you to restrict the grades that can be selected when you set up assignments for a worker.

To create a grade in Oracle Fusion, you need to follow a structured process within the Workforce Structures module. This allows you to define grades that are used for employee job evaluations, compensation, and organizational structures. Here’s how you can create a grade:

  • Grade Ladder Setup: For organizations with structured grade ladders, ensure that the grade fits within the correct progression path.
  • Compensation Components: If the grade is tied to compensation, make sure that salary ranges and other compensation factors are appropriately set.

Creating a grade in Oracle Fusion is essential for defining employee classifications and ensuring that organizational structures are well-maintained. You can now use this grade when assigning jobs or positions, linking it to pay scales, and managing employee progressions.
