I like the linking of grades to a pay rate it gives me a means of assessing what levels of pay should apply to what degree of responsibility. The old saying of if you pay peanuts you get monkeys does not apply in the present economic climate. There are plenty of people out there at the moment who will take higher levels of responsibility at lower pay just to be in work. And some units will take the unqualified who go for that lower rate driving down standards. Keep the grades and rates, it works
