The salary range refers to the range of base salaries for a given position, encompassing the minimum and maximum amounts. The midpoint of the range is positioned approximately halfway between the minimum and maximum, indicating a fully qualified employee with comprehensive job knowledge and experience for the role.

Échelle d’embauche : 65,325 $- 82,745 $

 

Transparence quant aux échelles d’embauche et salariale 

 

Habituellement, le personnel est embauché, transféré ou promu à l’intérieur de l’échelle salariale, c’est-à-dire entre le minimum et le point médian de l’échelle d’embauche.

L’échelle salariale est l’échelle de salaires de base pour un poste donné, qui comprend les montants minimum et maximum. Le point médian de l’échelle se trouve environ à mi-chemin entre le minimum et le maximum et indique qu’une employée ou un employé est pleinement qualifié et possède de vastes connaissances professionnelles et de l’expérience pour le poste.

 

Dans des cas rares et exceptionnels, lorsqu’une personne dispose d’expérience, de compétences et d’expertise dépassant largement ce qui est requis pour le poste, nous pourrions envisager de lui offrir un salaire supérieur à l’échelle d’embauche du poste.
