These workers are of grades 2/7


Thanks for your help .

When I say These workers are of grades 2/7 I mean the skill level

In my country a worker who has just started work for a company , he will be classified as grade 01 . After a period of time he will be raised to grade 02 , and then grade 03 , 04....and grade 07 is the highest grade .Just as in the army when you first join the army you will be classified as private , and after 01 or 02 years you will be raised to the rank of private first class and so on ......The salary received will be commensurate with the grade a worker is classified . The higher grade the higher salary.

Please help me write grade 2/7 in words .eg. grades 2 out of seven or something like that.

By the way , please tell me other ways of expressing this idea in words.

Thanks and Best regards

Just to be clear: you are saying that workers receive a grade, starting at one and rising to seven. Is [2/7] meant to indicate the worker has reached grade 2 (out of seven possible grades), or are there sub-grades within each step?

These workers are at the second (of seven) skill level. These workers are at Skill Level 2; Level 7 is the highest.

I would advise against using "grade" for a US audience. It sounds like they took a test. However, paygrade 2 of 7 makes perfect sense.
