How are “career bands” different from the current pay grades?
Career bands will have a broader salary range, up to approximately 200%, that will allow much greater flexibility with pay determinations. The current pay grade has a narrow range of approximately 50%.In addition, for example, grade 84 has many different types of jobs all using the same salary range. With career bands, each job family would have its own unique salary range. As a result, career band salary ranges are very accurately tied to the external market.
