A pay band is a range of salary levels that an employer may use to determine the compensation for a particular position or group of positions within an organization. Companies or government agencies often use pay bands to classify jobs according to their level of responsibility, complexity, and experience required.
The pay band may consist of a minimum, midpoint, and maximum salary. Employees’ salary within a particular pay band will be determined based on their qualifications, experience, performance, and other job-related factors.
Pay bands can help promote fairness and consistency in compensation practices and provide a clear structure for employees to understand their earning potential within an organization.

On the other hand, a pay scale is a series of steps or levels used to determine an employee’s salary based on their experience, performance, and other factors. Employees in the same job classification or level may receive different pay scales depending on their qualifications and performance.
