How will an employee know whether a position is an upgrade, lateral, or downgrade when it is posted with multiple levels?
Employees will know what levels are being considered for filling the job, as well as the associated salary bands for those levels. The level that is offered will depend upon the candidate’s experience and competencies and their applicability to the posted position. Candidates should consider their long-term career goals when deciding whether to apply on a position. For example, a lateral or downgrade, in some cases, may provide more opportunities for growth and align with career goals.
