salary scales
Compensation grade structure
Salary scales are structured systems that establish pay ranges for positions, typically with steps or grades based on experience, qualifications, or tenure.
Organizations use them to standardize compensation: The university's salary scales for faculty increase with rank and years of service.
Government and union jobs often operate on rigid salary scales, while private sector scales may be more flexible.
