The recently acquired company has Operative jobs that have never existed in your Company before. These jobs include Mill Worker, Welder, Tool Grinder, Mixer, etc.The President is looking to create a new Operative Compensation Structure for these new positions without disturbing the already established structures at Big Blue.Your boss has asked you to create this new Operative Compensation Structure. He has asked you to determine the appropriate range spreads and range overlap. His only instruction is that the new structure must contain 10 grades and start at $12.50 as the minimum of the first grade.

Please do not research pay data on these jobs for this assignment.A Pay Structure represents pay rate differences for jobs of unequal worth and the framework for recognizing differences in employee contributions. Pay Ranges represent the span of possible pay rates for each pay grade. Pay Ranges include midpoint, minimum and maximum pay rates. The minimum and maximum values denote the acceptable lower and upper bounds of pay for the jobs within particular pay grades.It is perfectly acceptable and recommended that pay grades have a certain level of overlap with the grade below and above. This will ensure consistency in how the structure is created and maintained.Ways to progress ranges to have overlap include:Midpoint Progression – Where the midpoint of a range is progressed by a % or flat dollar amount to obtain the midpoint of the next grade.Minimum Progression - Where the minimum of a range is progressed by a % or flat dollar amount to obtain the minimum of the next grade.The book talks about a complicated formula to overlap ranges. Please just use one of the methods above. That is how it is done in the real world.
