So, I noticed that my "job step" went up and I got a pay raise along with it (10 cents). I'm wondering what or how the job step changes, and how it's tied to my pay.
Note that I am only a part-timer working between 15-18 hours per week (the remaining days/hours going to school).
I am not sure but, The step up is the payscale up. Kind of like the military payscale.
It should show what your next payraise is and about when.
With the new contracts, I am suspecting you need to average 26 hours a week to get the next payraise a year from now. Working under 20 hours a week will make it take a little longer to get the payraise.

My most recent payraise was on March 16th, only a few days ago. My next pay raise is on December.
If I were to work more hours, would it make the payraise come sooner?
Job step is your position on the payscale for your position, it's based entirely on the hours you've worked. Each hour worked = one apprentice unit, somewhere between 1000 and 2000 apprentice units, varying by contract, equals one pay raise, which usually start at $0.10 per job step and max out at $1.00 per job step before you max out.
In my contract it takes about 26 weeks of full time for each pay raise

Hmm... I'm having a hard time understanding that.
Right now my job step is "0020", with the next job step being "0030".
Before my raise on the 16th, I had a raise on the month of December. In between those periods, I've never exceeded 30 hours. I've only work somewhere between 15 and 24 hours, three days a week.

Well it all depends on your contract and where in the store you are. For my contract it's around 1000 hours for every raise for all clerks hired after sometime in the early 2000s, less for old timers (though they're obviously all long since capped out), except meat and seafood, which have their own contract and make a bit more than everybody else. If you go into Express HR and click "About My Personal Profile" you can add "Current Apprentice Units" and "Units Remaining" together to get the number of hours required for a raise. Since the total for me is around 1000 and 1000/40=25 it takes 25 weeks at full time for each raise. If you were on my contract it would take you 41.75 (technically 41.667 but the clock records time in 15 minute increments) weeks per raise.
If you average 26 hours a week, your next raise will be in December. It will take longer to get the raise if you average less a week. You need to work 26 (hours) x 26 (weeks) = 676 hours before now and December to get the raise in December. You will not get the raise until you reach 676 hours after December. You can't get the raise sooner.
My quantities keep ****ing up on my page. I wish that we all got a 25 cent raise every three months. I mean the turnover at Kroger is so high that you shouldn't be worrying about capping out if they keep bringing in more Key Refailing.
