pay grades
Compensation level categories
Pay grades are levels in a structured compensation system, typically used by governments and large organizations to standardize salaries across positions.
Each grade corresponds to a salary range based on job responsibilities, experience, or rank.
The phrase above my pay grade has escaped bureaucratic contexts to mean something beyond one's authority or expertise: Whether to invade is above my pay grade.
