How to read the PC 121 pay scale
- The FPS publishes 8 tables for PC 121, with 40 amounts in total.
- Each table heading says whether an amount is an hourly or a monthly wage.
- The amount depends on what the rows and columns show: the category or class, seniority or years in the job. First find the category or class of the job, then read off the row that fits the employee.
- These are sectoral minimum wages. A company agreement or the employment contract can set a higher wage.
