Preface
This bulletin presents the results of a survey of
the practices of private enterprise in the design and use
of salary structures relating to white-collar occupations.
This study, m a d e by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, was
conducted by means of personal visits of Bureau field
economists during the first half of 1963. The study was
limited to companies having formal salary administration
plans with established salary ranges (minimums and m a x i m u m s specified) for a series of pay grades or levels into
which all or most white-collar positions were classified.
The survey was conducted upon request of the B u ­
reau of the Budget and the Civil Service Commission for
use in Federal pay administration. Plans for the survey
were formulated by m e m b e r s of the staffs of these agen­
cies and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics wishes to express
its appreciation to the companies cooperating in this de­
tailed study, and to thank the m a n y officials called upon
to provide detailed explanations of salary policies and pro­
cedures, for their time and patience.
This study was conducted in the Bureau’s Division
of Occupational Pay, Toivo P. Kanninen, Chief, under the
general direction of L. R. Linsenmayer, Assistant C o m ­
missioner for Wages and Industrial Relations. The anal­
ysis was prepared by Louis E. Badenhoop with the assist­
ance of Paul A. Katz and Gunnar Engen.

Although the title, "level for program managers" is used, this level was identified in each establishment by
reference to definitions for engineers VIII, chemists VIII, or attorney VII as defined in appendix B of National Survey
of Professional, Administrative, T echnical, and Clerical Pay, F ebruary—March 1963 (BLS Bulletin 1387, 1963).
^ See footnote 3 for an explanation of this level.

General Revisions in Salary Schedules
Most companies do not specify a definite period when the schedules are
to be reviewed to determine the need for revisions in rates, but in practice this
review generally is done annually. These reviews do not necessarily result in
annual revisions; however, in the last 4 or 5 years, the average interval b e ­
tween rate revisions was a year, or a year and a few months, for a majority
of the schedules of each type studied (table 26). Only a few schedules of each
type had not been revised within the previous 4 years.
Occasions for Revising Salary Schedules.
Occasions for general adjust­
ments in salary schedules most frequently given by officials were often related
to a policy of paying salaries that are competitive, with other establishments, by
adjusting schedules to reflect general changes in salary levels.
This m a y in­
volve reviewing available salary survey data, conducting or participating in sal­
ary surveys, or exchanging information with other employers on changes m a d e
or contemplated in salary schedules.
A m o n g other occasions often leading to
schedule revision were changes in other schedules of the company and also, col­
lective bargaining, which are interrelated.
Collective bargaining m a y be a di­
rect factor in the revision of schedules of employees covered by a collective
bargaining agreement, or an indirect factor when a bargained increase for e m ­
ployees covered by an agreement is the occasion for revising a salary schedule
covering other employees. M a n y officials pointed out that while a change in one
schedule m a y be the immediate occasion for adjusting another schedule, the s a m e
economic forces that occasioned the change in the bargained rates m a y also apply
to salaries of employees not within the bargaining unit.
Size of Adjustments.
The size of adjustments in salary schedules is determined, likewise, by considering a variety of factors. Increases shown by sal­
ary surveys was the mos t prevalent factor indicated, with increases in other
schedules of the c o m pany and increases in the C o n s u m e r Price Index ranking
next. Direct collective bargaining was indicated as a major factor in determining
size of adjustment only in the case of clerical salary schedules.
Maintaining Ingrade and Intergrade Relationships. Generally, a conscious
effort was m a d e to preserve established relationships within and between grades
when adjusting rates in the schedule (table 27). In most schedules, the attempt
to preserve the ingrade relationship took the form of provision for either a uni­
form percentage spread between m i n i m u m and m a x i m u m salaries for the grades
or a widening percentage spread within successive grades.
Each of these two
patterns was represented in similar proportions in clerical and clerical— profes­
sional— administrative schedules, whereas in professional— administrative sched­
ules, a uniform percentage spread within grades was somewhat m o r e prevalent
than a widening percentage spread.
The relationships maintained between sal­
ary rates for successive grades was m o r e c o m m o n l y a uniform percentage spread
between grades than a widening percentage spread in all three types of schedules.
S o m e flexibility in the patterns of ingrade and inter grade relationships was pro­
vided for in most instances when adjusting schedules.
Adjusting Salaries to Revised Schedules. W h e n the rates in salary sched­
ules had been revised, the practice was to adjust automatically the salaries of
employees in m o r e than half the clerical and clerical— professional— administrative
schedules (table 28).
For employees in professional— administrative schedules,
the mos t prevalent method of adjusting salaries to the revised schedule was
through merit (performance) reviews. This latter method also applied to a m a ­
jority of the clerical and clerical— professional— administrative schedules not cov­
ered by provisions for automatic adjustment of salaries. Adjusting salaries to
the revised schedule through general pay increases, which differed from auto­
matic adjustments in that the amount or timing of the increase did not correspond




9

to the revisions in the schedule, was the practice followed in establishments ac­
counting for 11 of the clerical and 25 of the professional— administrative sched­
ules.
A n u m b e r of officials indicated that general increases had been granted
to white-collar employees in earlier years when salaries were increasing m o r e
rapidly, but that this method of adjusting salaries was not being avoided.
Hiring Rate Provisions
N o r m a l hiring rates of pay were established for hiring n ew employees
in nearly nine-tenths of the clerical schedules, compared with three-fifths of the
professional— administrative and two-fifths of the clerical— professional— adminis trative schedules (table 29).
W h e n established, the normal hiring rate usually
was the m i n i m u m of the applicable grade. Most establishments fixing a normal
hiring rate or rate range also provided for hiring at rates above the specified
normal rate.
The most prevalent of these special provisions related to hiring
in shortage occupations, which usually provided for authorization of above normal
rates. Specific criteria, where established for determining above normal hiring
rates, varied a m o n g establishments and applied m o r e c o m m o n l y to hiring expe­
rienced than to inexperienced workers. The most prevalent criteria for deter­
mining above normal hiring rates for experienced workers was an evaluation of
applicable w o r k experience and education.
Provisions for Advancement Within Grades
Advancement of employees within grade ranges was described as based
solely upon merit (performance) reviews in 162 of the 165 professional— adminis­
trative schedules and 65 of the 76 clerical— profes sional— administrative (table 30).
A m o n g the 136 clerical schedules for which information was available, the basis
for within-grade advancement was merit (performance) reviews in 80 schedules,
merit (performance) reviews and existence of provision for an additional type of
increase (primarily length-of-service) in 38 schedules, and length-of-service
alone in 18 schedules.
Increases based on length-of-service usually are given
automatically after specified periods of satisfactory service. In most instances,
increases based upon merit (performance) reviews were determined separately
where provision was m a d e for an additional type of increase, such as one based
upon length of service.
Merit (Performance) Reviews. Establishments accounting for most of
the salary schedules of each type studied had an established merit (performance)
review program, usually with provisions for periodic reviews (table 31).
Al­
though these programs typically provided for regular annual review, provisions
permitting m o r e frequent reviews applied to approximately half the clerical— pro­
fessional— administrative schedules and to a m u c h higher proportion of the cler­
ical and the professional— administrative schedules.
Recommendations for ingrade salary increases are not necessarily timed
with periodic performance reviews, nor does each favorable periodic review re­
sult in an ingrade salary increase. The proportion of employees receiving in­
grade increases in a year, where periodic reviews were conducted, ranged from
less than 10 to m o r e than 90 percent, with the median at 50 to 60 percent of
the employees.
Under a majority of the provisions for ingrade advancement, the salary
increases were based upon a percent of the employee’s current rate, and both
a m i n i m u m and a m a x i m u m permissible amount for the merit increase was es­
tablished (table 32).
The m i n i m u m and m a x i m u m increases permitted varied
a m o n g the schedules, with a median m i n i m u m of 4 percent in clerical schedules
and 5 percent in the other two types of schedules, and a median m a x i m u m of 10
percent in all three types of schedules. S o m e establishments that did not spec­
ify m i n i m u m and m a x i m u m increases permitted, provided guides as to suggested
amounts or ranges for various performance ratings.



10

Length-of-Service Increases.
As indicated earlier, length-of-service
increases primarily related to employees in clerical schedules.
In a majority
of the 55 clerical schedules with such provision, this type of increase was not
granted beyond the midpoint of the grade range (table 33).
Whe r e length-ofservice increases were given, the m o s t prevalent practice provided for them at
semiannual intervals. Length-of-service increases were m o r e c o m m o n l y spec­
ified in cents per hour than as a percent of current rate, although m a n y of the
schedules providing for cents-per-hour increases gave larger increases at the
higher grades. Length-of-s ervice increases given in cents per hour were within
a 5- to 15-cent range; those given as a percent of current rate varied from 1 to
10 percent.
Limitations on Within-Grade Increases. General controls on within-grade
increases were exercised in m a n y establishments by providing a specific budget
for such increases, or by specifying the proportion of employees whose salaries
could be above a given point in the range of a grade. Such types of controls ap­
plied to well over half of the profes sional— administrative schedules, but to only
approximately two-fifths of the clerical schedules (table 34). The most preva­
lent type of control limiting ingrade increases was the specified budget. A typ­
ical example of this type of control m a y specify a budget of 3 percent of salaries
for a given department for within-grade increases, which m a y be paid to selected
employees in accordance with their performance as determined by the appropriate
officials.
Use of Step Rates. Relatively few of the schedules had established step
rates through which employees advanced within grade ranges. Such rates were
established in a fourth of the clerical schedules, in a fifth of the clerical— pro­
fessional— administrative schedules, and in only 3 of the 165 professional— a d m i n ­
istrative schedules (table 35).
In less than half of the clerical schedules with
established step rates were such rates specified for the full range of all grades
in the schedule.
Anticipated T i m e in Grade.
Relatively few of the schedules, when establishing the ingrade range, contained reflection of an anticipated time period
for employees to advance from the m i n i m u m to the m a x i m u m salary within a
grade. A majority of those so doing related primarily to clerical positions. A n
anticipated time period was considered in approximately a fourth of the clerical
schedules, in less than a fifth of the clerical—profes sional— administrative sched­
ules, and in only 8 of the 165 professional— administrative schedules (table 36).
In a majority of the clerical schedules in which a time ingrade was anticipated,
the period never exceeded 8 years and was less than 6 years in a majority of
these schedules.
Increases Beyond M a x i m u m of Grade Range.
Provision was m a d e for
salary advancement beyoncTthe m a x i m u m of the grade range in establishments
accounting for a fifth of the professional— administrative schedules, and a slightly
lower proportion of the other salary schedules (table 37).
A majority of such
provisions for above m a x i m u m increases were based on merit; the remaining
were based on longevity.
Point in Grade Range Representing Market Value. The advancement of
employees within the grade range m a y be influenced in s o m e schedules by the
concept as to what the ingrade range was designed to represent.
In at least
three-fifths of the schedules of each type, the midpoint within the grade range
was regarded as representative of the market value of a job when fully and c o m ­
petently performed (table 38). Advancement of employees above the midpoint of
these ranges would be expected to be slower than in the relatively few schedules
of each type in which the m a x i m u m of the grade range, rather than the midpoint
was taken as representative of the market value of the jobs.
