What is a range adjustment?
A range adjustment for step-based salary ranges is an increase to the value of each step of the range. When step-based salary ranges are range-adjusted, the employee’s salary increases by virtue of the increase to the employee’s assigned step. A range adjustment for open salary ranges is an increase to the value of the range minimum and the range maximum. When open ranges are range-adjusted, the employee’s salary does not increase, unless his or her rate was at the old range minimum.
