Definition

Career Banding is a new human resources system that affects the way we classify, hire, pay, promote, evaluate, and provide career development opportunities for our employees.

To reduce the number of job classes and titles in state government, similar jobs will be grouped together into broader job classes. The combined job classes will be grouped into larger pay ranges and may be assigned new titles.

The Office of State Personnel (OSP) will phase banding into state government over the next 3 to 5 years.
