The global Class Rate Increase option enables the system to assign a global increase to all classes or specific classes at the same time.

The Class Rate Increase menu is used if your employees are assigned to Classes and the rates are global for the employees in the classes.
The two key sections of the Class Rate Increase screen are:

What field(s) will you be updating, All rates or a particular rate value (1-10), what Function will you be performing, Add, Subtract, Multiple, etc., and what rate value will you be assigning to your action.
