This document provides guidance on how to create salary ranges for different grades. It recommends benchmarking competitor salaries to determine appropriate pay scales and percentiles. The midpoint should be selected first before establishing minimum and maximum salaries using formulas. The midpoint for the next grade up can be calculated by taking the current midpoint, multiplying it by the midpoint progression percentage, and adding the two values together. Following these steps allows an organization to systematically develop salary bands for different levels.
