Masonry Ties For Stepped Footings

I'm working on a project on a slope with many stepped footings, any idea what tie requirements are necessary at the steps? Additionally wondering it I need to grout lift more frequently to avoid any poor consolidation.

Re: Masonry Ties For Stepped Footings

Height of the steps should not exceed 24", so nothing itself is needed on the riser, the main portion of the footing I always have rebar stubbed out.

My rules say a masonry wall needs to be filled every 4' high
