What is the purpose of the salary standardization provisions in the Administrative Code?

The purpose of the salary standardization provisions in the Administrative Code is to ensure that there are clear guidelines and criteria for determining salary ranges within an organization. These provisions aim to create equity and consistency in how employees are compensated for their roles, which helps in attracting and retaining talent while minimizing potential salary discrepancies based on gender, race, or other factors. By having standardized salary ranges, organizations can better manage their payroll budgets, align compensation with market rates, and ensure fairness among employees performing similar roles.

The other options—assessing employee performance, establishing funding for departments, and allocating resources based on need—do not directly relate to salary standardization. While these activities may be important in the broader context of human resources and organizational management, they are not the primary function of salary standardization provisions.
