Manage Visibility of Salary Range or Pay Grades
To support institutional policies and applicable pay-transparency requirements, Faculty Search (FS) allows Institutional Administrators to control how salary information is configured for positions. Administrators can determine whether the salary field is visible to applicants and whether it must be included when creating a position. These settings apply across the institution. When applicant visibility is enabled, salary information entered for a position appears to applicants; when it is disabled, the information remains available only to internal users. This article explains how to manage the salary field’s visibility and requirement settings.
By default, salary visibility is disabled, and the field is optional. When an Institutional Administrator enables salary visibility, all applicants can view salary information. If disabled, only internal users can see it, regardless of whether the field is required or optional.
Salary Range/Pay Grade Settings
- Navigate to the Administration page and select the Positions Settings tab on the left-hand side.
- Scroll down to the Salary Range or Pay Grade Settings section to select if salary information is visible to applicants and if the salary field is required.
