Common use of Salary Range Structure Clause in Contracts

Salary Range Structure. The CSE salary scale consists of six salary ranges ranging from CSE 1 through to CSE 6. Each range consists of a maximum and a minimum. For ranges CSE 1 to CSE 3, the minimum of the range is set at 80% of the maximum which is the salary attainable by the majority of employees who are promoted to the range. Ranges CSE 4-6 contain a control salary that represents the "job rate" or the attainable salary for a number of years of fully competent performance. For these ranges, the minimum is set at approximately 80% of the control salary and the maximum is set at approximately 10% above the control salary. The portion of the range above the control salary is only attainable with continuous performance beyond “fully meets requirements”. The range maxima from CSE 1 to CSE 3 are set approximately 15% apart and the CSE 4 control salary is approximately 15% above the CSE 3 maximum. The control salaries of ranges CSE 4 to CSE 6 are set approximately 11% apart. This range structure results in some overlap of the ranges which facilitates earlier promotion, if warranted. From time to time, the salary ranges are adjusted to keep them competitive with the market for similar jobs. This adjustment, where it applies relatively equally to all salary ranges, is called a scale adjustment because the CSE set of ranges comprise the scale. Sometimes, however, in response to market pressures, the individual salary ranges are adjusted by different amounts and these individual amounts are referred to as range adjustments. In making all adjustments, it is customary to round all salary ranges and salaries within them to the nearest $100.
