Career grade definition

Career grade schemes provide a means of enabling progression within or through a grade structure or hierarchy. They are generally associated with professions or careers within which the acquisition of competence and skill adds to the employee's potential to contribute to the organisation. Employees can progress through a number of grades as they achieve specified attainment targets (usually attainment of formal qualifications or undertaking more responsible duties). Such schemes have been the subject of a number of successful equal pay claims. These have been the consequence of the level of work undertaken by individuals not matching their progression through the career grade.
