A defined pay range with minimum and maximum values for a job level.
A salary band (also called a pay band or grade range) defines the minimum and maximum salary for a particular job grade or level within the organization. Salary bands provide a transparent framework for pay decisions, help achieve internal pay equity, and allow for salary progression without requiring promotion. Wide bands (broadbands) give managers more flexibility; narrow bands provide tighter control. HR software maintains salary band data, flags out-of-range salaries, and supports budget modeling for pay reviews.
