There's a few different ways that we can rank-order our jobs.
So one method is through the jobs, which is
where the grades are determined by the tasks that employees perform.
Another is determined by the skills.
Such as the skill, their certifications, licensures, or the job requirements.
And the last one is the competency-based rankings,
which is determined by demonstrated behavioral competencies.
And each of these communicates something different about what it is that we value.
Whether it's the jobs that you perform, the skills or the licensures or
certifications that you have, or the behavioral competencies,
such as the ability to lead people.
And it's also a good example of a skill-based structure.
So here we have a structure from a public school district in the United States.
And what you'll notice here is that it's rank ordered by years of service.
And so, the longer you are within your particular grade,
then the more pay you'll get.
And the grades themselves are determined by your highest degree of
educational attainment, and additionally, how many extra credit hours you have.
So for example, let's say that you had somebody who had a bachelor's degree with
no extra credit hours, and they're just entering our school district.
Then this would be someone who would be paid a salary of $34,048 per year.
And, as they grow in tenure in the organization, if they don't get any
additional educational attainment, they can make up to $38,787 per year.
Now, at this point, after 8 years of service,
they wouldn't be eligible for future increases.
Rather, to get additional pay, they would also have to do additional course work.
So let's say that they did 15 credit hours of additional course work.
Then this person, if they have entered in with 0 years of
service would be making about $900 more when they entered and
would also be eligible for a higher gap.
And indeed, the people who'd be making most in this kind of a structure would
be those who are in the highest grade,
should be those with either a masters with a lot of extra course work or a PhD.
And who also have a lot of experience, 16 years or more of experience.
These people would be making a salary of $64,174 per year.
And so, again, kind of the big picture is that we want to establish our raise and
promotion criteria to communicate what it is that our organization values.
So thanks, and I'll see you next class.
