The Salaries by Level tab reports salaries/wages for the selected job based on "level" rather than years of experience (as on the Salaries by Experience/Size tab). The Advanced Reports tab also allow for the display of Salaries by Level data.
An explanation of the levels reported are as follows:
Level 1 – Employees in this first (1st) level satisfy the basic job requirements. As the employee gains knowledge and experience, the work reviews, checks, and supervision may be reduced. Complexity or variety of work is typical, and there are no additional technical, mathematical, or scientific requirements beyond the basic requirements at this first (1st) level. Some organizations refer to level 1 as the entry level of the job.
Level 2 – Employees in this second (2nd) level require greater knowledge, training, and/or experience than level 1. The amount of work review, checks, and supervision are less for an employee at level 2 than at level 1. Complexity or variety of work is moderately higher than level 1 and may involve greater technical, mathematical, or scientific skills than level 1. Some organizations refer to level 2 as the intermediate level.
Level 3 – Employees in this third (3rd) level require greater knowledge, training, and/or experience than level 2. The amount of work review, checks, and supervision are less for an employee at level 3 than at level 2. Complexity or variety of work is higher than level 2 and may involve greater technical, mathematical, or scientific skills than level 2. The scope of assignments may vary when compared to level 2. Some organizations refer to level 3 as the senior level.
Each level is further defined according to the position's job family classification (in the second half of the level description).
The Level 1, 2, 3 rows are a composite of all three of the levels described above.
