What is the “Glide” Placement in Range Methodology?
Salary ranges for bona fide professional capacity positions within the County utilize a placement in range methodology that is more aggressive in the earlier years/stages of each career path. This approach addresses the turnover of less tenured professional employees as well as allowing for Maricopa County to remain more competitive with market observed practices. Essentially, the placement in range methodology for professional level positions is a “glide” from slightly more aggressive percentages in the first half of the salary range, gradually declining to less aggressive in the second half.
