  • The selectee's directly related experience at the same level as the position.
  • The selectee's overall experience in a particular area.
  • The salaries of employees in similar positions and with similar levels of experience. MCC also takes the selectee's skill set into account. Applicants should note that salary offers seldom fall near the upper end of the salary range listed in the vacancy announcement. Salary may be set from the minimum to the midpoint of the salary range pf the pay band. In some instances, based on a selectee's extensive experience directly related to the position, salary may be set at or above the mid-point up to the maximum salary for that pay band.
