Overview
The following guidelines will help you level your positions:
- When determining the level, differentiating factors are scope or knowledge, job complexity, discretion and interaction with others
- Degree of supervision required is a significant leveling factor
- Start the matching process from the middle, where job functions are well populated, you should first report employees to Level 3 positions
- After determining your career level, move outward – both higher and lower
- Your organization may or may not have the same number of job levels as available in the database
- Use the Level Descriptions to identify the best level match and report employees accordingly
- Combine or split company levels as needed, combined levels generally at Level 3
Please note that the level alignment and career architecture varies by each company and industry.
