To be Externally Competitive. Specific to a particular job, and the “market” for the skills needed. Pay ranges that are comparable to those offered by local and regional employers for similar positions.
To Link Pay and Performance. Individual performance, organizational performance, and the needs of the 91女神 will all be considered when determining pay.
