Enables you to view the employee’s personal grade spinal point history. That is, it shows any instances where the system-calculated point on the spinal column has been manually overridden, and lets you manually override the current point. You can also remove bar points if required.

Note: The Step field in Grade Spinal Column History is used to record the number of spinal points employees on a grade should be increased by on each increment run. This step can be overridden by a personal increment (e.g. after appraisal) using the Override fields in this window.

Depending on the type of salary calculation, clicking WINDOW has one of the following effects:

Override Step

Record the number of spinal points employees on this grade should be increased by on each increment run.

Carry Forward
