Wage Bands/Tiers/Clinical Ladders for Salary Compensation

[Guest guest]

Dear Listserve.

I have been asked by my employer to formulate wage bands/tiers/clinical

ladders for salary compensation. The home care agency for whom I work currently

pays a fixed per visit rate regardless of one's clinical experience and extent

of education, and is contemplating changes in pay structure. Thus, I am

somewhat at a loss as how to devise a pay structure that is " commensurate, " i.e

what

variables and worths (points?) are factored into an employees pay grade; i.e.

1) education, 2) degrees obtained, 3) certifications possessed, 4) years of

clinical experience, 5) years of home care experience, 6) etc.

Any thoughts or guidance would greatly be appreciated. If preferred, email

can be sent to me directly.

Thank you in advance for any help.
