11. April 26, 2007 Skidmore College Human Resources 11 How Market Salary Ranges Are Developed
Preliminary ranges are developed around clustering of market data for those benchmark positions that have been matched to a survey position, as shown below
12. April 26, 2007 Skidmore College Human Resources 12 How to pay within the range
The salary range should provide appropriate pay opportunities for a variety of skill, knowledge, experience and performance levels required to fulfill the position
Salary ranges will be aligned with the median of the market
You will note 7 years listed as the length of time to get to midpoint. This is a typical number of years and is reasonable when considering the ranges move almost every year, and sometimes at a much larger percent than the gsa. The whole idea is to have people clustered around the midpoint and not have too many at the high end or the low end.Salary ranges will be aligned with the median of the market

20. April 26, 2007 Skidmore College Human Resources 20 The base year is aged to 1/1/07 by 2.5% per year. Excel has done the calculation and there’s a formula in the cell if one double clicks on the chart.
The Cost of Living figures come straight from the ERI database that Sibson pays for and gets updated every month.
The actual column is the actual cost of living % of each area based on the national average. Then it’s indexed to Albany by changing the focus area to Albany and comparing each other area to it. The calculations are all done through the database.
So, in this case, the cost of living in Albany is 111.8% of the US average. Saratoga Springs is 110.9%. So, Saratoga’s cost of living is 99% that of Albany.
Finally, divide the updated living wage number by the corresponding % as indexed to Albany and that gives you the cost of living adjusted wage.
The estimated COL Adjusted Wage for Skidmore is calculated by averaging the adjusted wage from the other areas and multiplying by the 99%.
