2. OVERVIEW
GOALS/OBJECTIVES
• Decentralize compensation management &
administration
• Reduce the need for reclassification reviews and
improve speed of processing
• Provide a mechanism to reward employees for
skills and competencies outside of annual salary
recommendation process
• Provide more flexibility in pay for new hires
• Attract & retain employees in high skilled areas
• Maintain internal equity
• Allow for geographic differentials and market
competitiveness
3. Broad Banding
• Involves collapsing salary grades into a few
broad bands, each with a sizable range
– One minimum and one maximum
– Range midpoint often not used
4. Broad Banding (cont.)
• Purposes
– Provide flexibility to define job responsibilities
more broadly
– Foster cross-functional growth and
development
– Ease mergers and acquisitions
10. • In a broadband pay structure, the numbers
of salary grades are consolidated into fewer,
but broader, pay ranges. In broadbanding,
the spread of the pay ranges is wider and
there is less overlap with other pay ranges.
