L'Indicateur courant/arriérés indique si la paye est versée avec ou sans arrérage (A=arrérage et C=courant ). Il est l'un des deux constituants du Code de fréquence de paye. L'autre constituant est le Code du cycle de paye (qui indique la fréquence à laquelle la paye est versée à l'employé [7=aux deux semaines; 6=aux mois; 3=aux semaines], c'est-à-dire la durée de la période de paye). Le Code de fréquence de paye indique donc la fréquence à laquelle la paye est versée à l'employé et permet de savoir si la paye est versée à l'employé avec ou sans arrérage. Exemples : Fréquence de paye 7A, 7C, 6A et 6C. 1, record 3, French, - Indicateur%20courant%2Farri%C3%A9r%C3%A9s

Truly rare quality Canadian coins are very infrequently offered or sold. In many cases, rare coins may appear only once every few years of possibly only once every major coin cycle(5-8 years). The last sale of such an item may be meaningless as an aid to repricing such a coin in a "new" market. "Trends" for such coins are non-existant. Such coins are usually priced by relating them to other similar coins of comparable rarity and using historical relationships of pricing between the two to arrive at a "fair" asking price. In the end the price will be what a willing buyer will pay a willing seller. Considerable research may go in to pricing such coins, certainly more than looking them up in a Trends List. 1, record 5, English, - pricing%20rare%20coins
