As a professional starting in 1980 I remember the Upjohn salary system was based on "Hay Points" and my first job had 254 Hay Points. Since my Upjohn wage was double what I had been earning in one of the Kalamazoo paper mills I was a very happy employee. Back then we had automatic raises tied to inflation so only a month after I started I got a 5% raise. In 1991 the system changed to all grades and the tie to the inflation rate had been dropped. The salary ranges documents below are from the collection of Kathy Wittliff and Randy Blalock. The time sheets from Pam Everts
