Why do IT and Development have their own pay structures, while finance, legal, and HR are all under the administrative structure?
The pay structures were developed to match how the market recognizes work. For example, in IT, it is not uncommon to pay an individual for a certain technical skill they may have. It is also possible, that an IT employee may earn more than their manager, based on the skills they have. Conversely, under the administrative structure, careers tend to be more traditional in nature. So, for example, A person’s job will typically grow by taking on more responsibility, managing people, or having greater decision making authority.
