You Have The Following Wage Progression Scalehousekeeperstart 6 Mo
You have the following wage progression scale for various employee classifications including Housekeeper, Laborer, and Maintenance Helper, with wages increasing based on length of service at specified intervals. Employees are paid according to their length of service with the company and classification on a calendar year basis, without deductions for time off or proration.
Joe was hired as a Housekeeper on April 1, 2019. He was promoted to Laborer on July 1, 2020, and later promoted to Maintenance Helper. Determine his starting wage at hire, the wage at each promotion, and the dates of these changes.
Paper For Above instruction
Joe was initially hired as a Housekeeper on April 1, 2019, when the wage scale indicates a starting rate of $9.50 per hour. According to the progression scale, employees in this classification start at $9.50 after six months, with subsequent increases at one-year, two-year, and three-year intervals based on service duration.
Since Joe was hired on April 1, 2019, his wages at key intervals would be as follows: at six months (October 1, 2019), his wage increased to $10.00; at one year (April 1, 2020), it would be $10.50; at two years (April 1, 2021), it would be $11.00; and at three years (April 1, 2022), it would be $11.50.
On July 1, 2020, Joe was promoted to Laborer. Based on the wage scale for laborers, which starts at $10.50 after six months, and increases annually, his wage at that point would reflect his prior service. Since he had over one year of service but less than two, the typical wage would be adjusted according to his service duration within the classification. At this point, he would earn approximately $11.00 per hour, aligning with the progression scale for a laborer with similar service length.
After his promotion to Laborer, subsequent increases would occur at six months ($11.00), one year ($11.50), two years ($12.00), etc., but since his promotion occurred before these milestone dates, his wages would be adjusted accordingly within the scale.
Later, when Joe is promoted again to Maintenance Helper—exact date not specified—the wage would follow the Maintenance Helper scale. If he was promoted after July 1, 2020, his wages would align with the starting rate for Maintenance Helper, which is $10.50 after six months, and increase at similar intervals based on service length, reaching approximately $13.00 by his third year of service in that classification.
In summary: Joe's initial hire wage was $9.50; at six months (October 1, 2019), it increased to $10.00; at one year (April 1, 2020), to $10.50; he was promoted to Laborer on July 1, 2020, earning $11.00 at that point; and after further service, his wages increased according to scale, reaching approximately $11.50 or more, depending on exact promotion date to Maintenance Helper.
