As an example, as shown in Figure $2,$ McDonald is an administrative assistant and, thus,

belongs in Pay Grade $1($which has a maximum pay rate of $$50,000).$ However, McDonald has

only $22$ completed weeks of service with the organization and, thus, McDonald should be located

within Step Range $1$ of Pay Grade $1.$ Thus, according Table $2,$ McDonald should be paid

between $$30,000($which is $60\%$ of $$50,000)$ and $$35,000($which is $70\%$ of $$50,000).$ As shown

in Figure $2($and Table $3),$ McDonald$$s current pay is $$32,000.$ Thus, McDonald is paid

appropriately. Complete the chart shown in Figure $2($i$.$e$.,$ draw the limits for Pay Grade $4[$limits for all

other pay grades are already provided$]).$

$$ Insert each employee$$s name into the chart, noting which are overpaid, underpaid, and

appropriately paid $$ or if any are green$-$circled or red$-$circled.

$$ Answer the $10$ multiple$-$choice questions.
