The University of Nebraska has established market relevant salary ranges, or bands, based on current market salary data for each of the 15 job families. Salary data is obtained from established and reputable local, regional, and national survey sources, and is evaluated and updated on an ongoing basis to keep pace with the continuously changing job market. This enables the University to adjust the pay band for an individual family due to changes in the market independently of the market activity of positions in the other families. Human Resources is responsible for monitoring market conditions by identifying and comparing benchmarked jobs (NU jobs that can be matched to jobs found in salary surveys) to data published in salary surveys.
