Bus/Financial - Human Resources
English term or phrase: broad band
No, this is not about the internet.

I am editing internal human resources software.

The original was:
Grade - Displays the position grade for the internal positions held at XYZ

which was translated as:
Gehaltsstufe - Informationen zur Gehaltsstufe der internen Positionen bei XYZ

The new source is:
Grade/Band - Displays the position grade or broad band for the internal positions held at XYZ.

Now honestly I have no idea what "broad band" could mean in this context.

Thank you for your ideas!

grobe Bandbreite
Explanation:
Hier kann es sich m.E. nur um die Bandbreiten (von...bis) der Gehaltsstufen handeln. Dabei werden meist überschneidende Gehaltsstufen in z.B. 2000er-Schritten abgebildet.
Daraus sind die Mindest- und Höchstlöhne der einzelnen Funktionen in einem Unternehmen ablehsbar.
Hoffe das hilft.
Gruss
Marcel

neutral  Harry Borsje: I think the source uses 'broad band' where it should have said 'bandwidth', so although your translation of the asked term is correct, it is *not* correct in this context (just Bandbreite)

agree  BrigitteHilgner: Ich stimme Harry insofern zu, dass "Bandbreite", meines Erachtens, genügt.

Gehaltsbereiche, Lohnbereiche


Explanation:
It sounds like they are doing what my company does: put salaries into 'buckets' (their term), which are fluid ranges. Then, each bucket gets a certain raise and these may differ.

So, you may use something like this.

hier: Lohnniveau


Explanation:
Stufen/Niveaus - Informationen zur Gehaltsstufe oder Lohnniveau der internen Positionen bei XYZ

Das Lohnniveau stellt gegenüber dem Wort Gehaltsstufe einen diffuseren Begriff dar. Lohnniveau ist in Fragen Personal und Bezahlung ein gebräuchlicher Begriff.

Das soll 'broad band' statt 'grade' doch bestimmt bedeuten.
