[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 871633, member: 22880"] This is sounding like the system I theorized would be presented - a system much like the military or government civilian service system. I haven't heard anything additional, but if this is true, then there will be a schedule of pay rates. Pay rates for the next fiscal year would be determined by cross indexing job grade (each craft has a "pay grade" in Express) by years of service, then a pay rate would be determined - no actual pay percentage increases, merely a pre cooked pay rate for the next fiscal year. This does have the advantage of doing away with management trying to say your pay rate is "confidential". Everyone would know each other's pay rate, by their job classification and years of service under a system like this. As far as top out times in this structure, it would entirely be up to Express to decide how many years of service would be needed to hit max pay for each craft. The bright point here is that with the current gaming with the annual pay raise percentages, there is/was no longer a top out time. With a schedule of pay rates, I can't imagine that they'd go much beyond 16 years to top out, 20 years would be the absolute maximum I think they could get away with. A schedule like this would do away with the "smoke and mirrors" of the current system - management couldn't play the bull[IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] game of trying to state you have a career possiblity, but then when someone does the math, a 25 year top out time for a new hire pops out. If it holds out like the military system, this system would (in theory) mean that those with interrupted service would be - in theory again - be caught back up with those with no break in service. There is obviously going to need to be more information released by Express. This would mean that someone that had a break in service (and started back at the bottom of pay progression when they rehired) would no longer be penalized. The "small print" to this would be if Express decided to use the term "continuous service" instead of "total service". If continuous service is used, then no break for those with interruptions in their employment. The other uncertainty would be if they use the term "service in pay grade" instead of TOTAL service with Express. This would come into play when a Courier for example has 10 years of total service, but say only 6 years in pay grade (assume they spent time at a ramp or hub for instance). Would this individual be paid based on 10 years of total service, or only the 6 years in the highest pay grade (Courier)? As one can see, there are a lot of questions that will need to be answered. I - along with others - are still curious as to the exact reason Express is going to a system like this. There has to be something else brewing to cause this to come up. [/QUOTE]
