Broadbanding
['Compensation']

- Broadbanding occurs when an organization groups similar positions together into the same pay grade.
Different methods can be used to work out pay levels. One is broadbanding. This is when similar positions are grouped within a “band” based upon their function.
It may also be used when many job groups or pay grades exist at an organization. It combines pay grades together to decrease the quantity of job groups. For example, instead of having jobs identified as associate supervisor, technical supervisor, and lead supervisor, each with their own pay range, they are banded together with one pay range for supervisors.
