Add a pay step to a pay grade.
The pay step refers to the wage paid to an employee based on an employee's experience and years of service. For example, Organization XYZ can set up a different pay step for entry-level employees and senior level employees who have more experience than entry-level employees. Organization XYZ uses the pay steps to pay employees who fill the same position different amounts based on the employee's experience in that position.
