Status:

Position Class Grade is a collection of values for the minimum, midpoint, and maximum annual salary or regular rate of pay. Salary grades are grouped by salary table and salary group in Banner and can be applied at the position classification, position, and job. These represent the lowest, highest, and median values for pay based upon a person's experience. Employees are not hired under the minimum pay and cannot receive merit to base pay once above the maximum. The midpoint represents the most common pay for a given job based upon mid-career-level experience and qualifications. Salary grades at GW are derived from information based on national survey data and Bureau of Labor Statistics data among other sources and are attributed at the position classification level.
