Levels

In the Benchmark List, Geographic List, Advanced Reports, and Compensation Management, the Salary Assessor now allows for the reporting of compensation for the selected job based on level when a location in the Extended Geographic Database is selected (see Browse Areas). Job Report reports salaries by level for all locations, including both the Primary Geographic Database and the Extended Geographic Database, though the display of data varies according to the database selected. Salaries by level are only reported for non-executive jobs. Director and executive jobs will display salaries by the size of the organization, reported as Small, Medium/Large, and Large/Very Large, when a location in the Extended Geographic Database is selected. For locations in the Primary Geographic Database, director and executive jobs will display average salaries based on parameters selected in the Organization Data panel (e.g., location, industry, and organization size). Tables that include both non-executive and director/executive jobs will display Low/Medium/High, which represents either Levels 1/2/3 or Small, Medium/Large, Large/Very Large, depending on the job. In the Employee List in Compensation Management, Level 1/Small Org, Level 2/Medium Org, and Level 3/Large Org columns may be displayed based on your subscription level.

See Definition of Levels.
