Classification/Compensation
The Career Banding classification system is a competency based, market rate driven system that replaces the traditional graded system. Career Banding "collapses" many graded classifications into fewer more broadly defined classes and wider pay bands. Career Banded employees progress through a band by acquiring additional competencies based on the business need of the organization.
