Compensation Program Design

The College’s staff and administration compensation structure consists of fifteen pay bands that represent a continuum of salaries or market medians for a wide range of positions.  All staff and administrative positions are placed into one of the fifteen pay bands based on the market range and the primary roles and responsibilities of the position.

The actual market range for each individual position will fall within the broad range of the band. The minimum, maximum and even the middle of the pay band does not represent any one position’s actual market range.

Each band is broad enough to accommodate various degrees of competencies and job proficiencies, and offers opportunity for career development and advancement within the band.
