Pay levels define annual salary amounts, step duration and promotion information, and percentage increase for fixed salaries by predefined combinations of pay scale elements. Pay scale elements in SAP Public Budget Formulation include Country ID, Pay Scale Type, Pay Scale Area, ES Grouping for CAP, Pay Scale Group, and Pay Scale Level.

For employees or positions with a Salary Override value of No, the personnel expenditure projection (PEP) calculation will consider the annual salary amount that is maintained in the pay level table. The step duration value determines the number of periods the employee or position should remain at the designated annual salary amount. The New Level and New Group values are then used to identify the next annual salary amount to be used after the step duration period.

For employees or positions with a Salary Override value of Yes, the PEP calculation will consider the percentage increase to be applied to the salary amount defined on the master data record. This percentage will be applied every 12 periods starting from the Promotion Date, which is also found on the master data record.
