coefficient

English translation: salary supplement rate

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:coefficient de remuneration
English translation:salary supplement rate
Entered by: Laszlo Kocsis

French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
French term or phrase: coefficient
What does this term mean when talking about salaries and wages? The context is a list of employee comments:
La rémunération et le coefficient ne sont pas en adéquation avec le travail demandé.

I know there are a lot of glossary entries, but not being an expert in labor law, I'm not sure of the best translation.

salary supplement rate
Explanation:
this rate --it can be more rates in fact ---is a percentage increase added to the base salary by multiplying its amount with a subunitary coefficient corresponding to each supplement. So if you'll have X as base salary, for instance X*v would be a supplement rewarding you for your previous overall time of employment(experience) or in the field , X*k is for your position, X*d-if you perform a dangerous job, X*n-for overtime work during te month,X*s-- if you perform a very stressful job and so on. At least in the public sector this is the way how the use the "coefficients",but the base varies and the calculation is a bit more complicate. I Hope it will help.

Salary supplement rate, or just salary supplement, seems to make sense and generates google hits. Grade is also a good answer, but I think I'll go with this.

Explanation:
In support of ruffinus
I worked as a secretary in a large company and had to deal with a lot of questions related to personnel. Everyone had a grade and according to their grade their minimum salary was established by "convention collective".
This is what I understand.
