Has anyone out there seen the Pay Range for their job position. (Same title same Plevel and find themselves below the range? If so how did you approach it?

Yes. I noticed they are hiring g lead level with principle level requirements. It’s another playbook scam
@c3 true, which means you need to bring it up in Oct/Nov. Comp gets locked in early Dec I believe
I will raise it during my performance review but before they start talking comps because by then it is too late
It was same location as i am in, same Job description (there were two to compare to and both ranges were exactly the same) so by all accounts i am below the bottom of the range. I was promoted within the group so you get a bit sc--wed to begin with so i likely have been chasing the bottom for a bit. I would never have known but i did notice on my comp the last year that my pay had a “salary review HR “ so i think i was in a lower spot last year and they couldn’t increase it enough to get to the bottom
@aq true. a bunch of states have passed pay transparency laws, but the details aren’t the same everywhere.
in california, washington, and connecticut, employers have to provide the pay range for your position if you ask. colorado requires pay ranges in job postings and also for internal promotions or transfers. new york and rhode island also give employees the right to see their pay range upon request. maryland makes employers give applicants the wage range if they ask, and current employees can request too. nevada requires that pay ranges be provided automatically to applicants after an interview, and employees can request them as well.
but not every state has these rules. in some states, the laws only cover job postings, not current workers. in others, there’s no legal requirement at all, so it depends on company policy. managers usually have access to pay ranges in hr systems, but whether they’re required to share with you depends on the state law and sometimes the size of the employer.
Had that happen several yrs ago, new hires were making at least a few dollars more, and they were people I had trained. When I found out, asked my manager to at least bump me up to what they were making (obviously too much to ask) and was told I would have to wait for my yearly review, which was like 9 months away. So instead I found a better paying position.
there are a number of states where employers are required to tell you your pay range upon request. managers have easy access to it in wage works, just ask your manager what your current pay range is, regardless of state.
@ah maybe see if they are hiring then?
Remember when BofA said they would increase their minimum wage to $25 in 2021? WF still hasn't caught up 4 years later...
Double check location too. The range may by higher in certain areas like New York or California just based on cost of living calculations WF has done. But if it's same area, I'd definitely ask your manager about it.
I approached by finding another job paying way more 🤷🏻♂️
I had that happen once, I received a .58 cent pay raise mid year.
@a1 Thank you for that. I just happened to be looking at another posting and say that. I can say it didn’t feel too good. I have only been in my position for a couple years.
At some point this year, it seems they changed the min on a few job titles. I would assume if you fall out of range, that'll be corrected during the performance cycle.
You won't get a penny in an off cycle though. Those are much harder to come by these days.
