Step progression is the change from one step to the next higher step within the same grade.
The advancement in step is reflected in an increase in the index treatment.

However, the special status of your body may provide that advancement in step is also a function of your professional value.
The special status may also provide for special steps, access to which may be restricted.
The particular status of each corps shall define, for each grade, the number of steps and the length of service required to progress from one step to the next.
Example :
The rank of teacher in normal-class schools (1er grade of the school teachers' corps) has 11 levels.
The service periods required to move from one step to another are as follows:
Steps | Duration of service required in step to take the next level |
|---|---|

5e step | 2 years 6 months |
6e step | 3 years |
7e step | 3 years |
8e step | 3 years 6 months |
9e step | 4 years |
10e step | 4 years |

What is a seniority bonus?
You are entitled to a seniority subsidy if you work in an urban area with particularly difficult social and security problems.
A seniority increase consists of a reduction in the length of service required to advance from one step to the next step within a grade.
Thus, as soon as you prove at least 3 years of continuous services in a sensitive urban area, you are automatically granted a bonus under the following conditions:
- One-month seniority bonus for each of these three years
- Seniority increase of 2 months per year of continuous service completed beyond 3e year
This includes police officers and teachers.
Example :
A teacher from the normal-class schools on 3e step which exercises for 5 years in a sensitive urban area benefits from a 7-month seniority bonus and can be promoted to 4e step after one year and five months (instead of two years).
