Pay scale

A pay scale is a system that determines how much an employee is to be paid as a wage or salary, based on one or more factors such as the employee's rank or status within the employer's organization, the length of time that the employee has been employed, and the difficulty of the specific work performed. Examples of pay scales, include U.S. uniformed services pay grades, the salary grades by which United States military personnel are paid, and the General Schedule, the salary grades by which United States white-collar civil service personnel are paid.
