Pay Grades And Job Value—How To Build A Workable Compensation System

As we move into 2019, it's probably time for compensation professionals to review pay ranges and think about re-ranking jobs, moving positions, reviewing internal equity, or adding variable pay systems into the total reward compensation mix.

Whether you want to reward performance, time, knowledge, skills, or competencies, determining pay grades is the first step to creating an equitable, competitive compensation system. Without accurate pay grade determination, it won't matter how good the pay survey data is that you may acquire, your internal compensation will likely be too high or too low.
