Definitions

a scale of prices, wages, taxes, etc., that can be proportionately raised or lowered to meet certain conditions. In a sliding wage scale where salaries range from $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 annually the rising cost of living may cause the scale to slide up to a $6,000.00 to $12,000.00 range with all figures on the scale in between being raised in equal proportions.
