Broadbanding Correct-The practice of using fewer pay grades with much broader ranges
than in traditional compensation systems. Main advantage is more consistent with flattening
of organizational levels and growing jobs that are multidimensional. Problem is employees
expect a promotion to come with a pay raise and movement to a new pay. By not having this
employees will feel there is no room for promotion opportunities. Most companies use
traditional pay grades.
