Next Steps
Check your document one more time as you prepare to upload it to the Maryland EXCELS System.
Step 1: Check your document
Your documentation should include:
A current staff salary scale, clearly showing that salaries are determined by:
- Education
- Experience
Step 2: Save your document
Use a file name you can find easily when you upload it to the system (example: salary-scale.docx; salary-scale.pdf).
Use any one of these formats:
- Typed electronic documents (examples: Microsoft Word, PDF)
- Scanned documents (examples: PDF, PNG, JPG)
- Digital images of documents (examples: JPG, PNG, PDF)
- Identified section within your staff handbook describing salary and benefits (examples: Microsoft Word, PDF, JPG)
Step 3: Upload your document (ADM 12.3)
Log into the Maryland EXCELS System to upload your documentation regarding salary scales.
Remember, if you are a family child care provider and do not employ any additional staff, leave for your Program Coordinator.
