About this plan
Maine assigns each job classification to a salary specification (bargaining unit schedule) and pay grade, written spec-grade (for example 04-14). Each grade has steps; the range shown runs from Step 1 to the top step, hourly, exactly as the Bureau of Human Resources publishes it (annual pay is the hourly rate x 2,080). Classes in units without a published standard schedule are not included.
