• Broad Band
16000-37000 • Flexible progression rate • Greater control over wage bill • Can differentiate between performance levels Needs to be supported by performance measurement systems



These structures are applicable for basic salary only

Allowances and Benefits
• Allowances – cash payments, generally with
monthly salaries; nature and quantum can vary with jobs; can be paid as a fixed quantum or related to basic salary levels

• Benefits – can be in monetary form (phone bills
