Job content and role determine the salary band to which a job is assigned, and the specific responsibilities and scope, combined with the skills, knowledge, experience and performance of the incumbent determines his/her salary within the band.

• Job responsibilities, requirements, complexity, and impact will determine the salary band assignment, not the job’s title. There must be a clear and current job description for each job to ensure that Human Resources has the job content information needed to properly band jobs. Salary ranges will be competitive with our respective, defined markets
• Skills, knowledge, experience, and performance of the individual will determine the actual salary
• Internal equity and market competitiveness will be monitored regularly to ensure continued program effectiveness

There are ten broad bands, D (entry level) to M. The Band Definitions outline each band’s core criteria used in evaluating jobs:

• Job Scope (University, Division, Departmental, Work Unit, etc) and Major Responsibilities
• Job Complexity and Impact on the University
• Knowledge, Skills, and Competencies required to perform the job
• Education and Experience required to perform the job
