Career Banding is the North Carolina statewide classification and compensation system developed by the Office of State Human Resources (OSHR) for SHRA and focuses on demonstrated competencies as required by the business need of the organization. Employees in the Career Banded system are assigned a specific classification and competency level based on the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for their specific position. The competency levels are defined as Contributing, Journey, and Advanced.
Within each band employee salaries are determined by several factors: budget availability, market pay rates, required competencies, internal pay alignment (equity), current salary, and total compensation. As competencies are developed through work experience, education, and training and are demonstrated (used) on the job, employees become eligible for salary adjustment consideration. Increases are subject to funding availability.
