What is career banding?
Career banding is a new classification and pay program initiated by the Office of State Personnel (OSP) that is labor market driven and affords greater flexibility to managers in making salary decisions. Career banding replaces the current system of pay grades and job classes with broad role descriptions/profiles and wide salary ranges encompassing specific occupational areas (job families). Positions are banded according to the competencies that employees are required to demonstrate in the performance of their duties.
