BAND / GRADE

English to French Bus/Financial Finance (general) salaries
I am working on an employee information manual which makes the distinction between a salary band and a salary grade. I am struggling to actually find a concrete distinction in the official translations provided. Here is what i've got in the document:

'Band are levels which are broader than grades, and used to group jobs of similar value for compensation.'

Your input or even better, an explanation as to the difference between band and grand and / or a link to a website explaining french salary structures would be most helpful, I'm at the end of my wits with this issue!

Career paths now contain salary bands rather than grades (this is a one-to-one transformation). Bands are, however, quite different from grades in that each band is unique to a career path, whereas
each grade was found in at least three career paths. Career paths made up of bands are thus no longer interlocked in
terms of salary which means that they could evolve differently. That is something one should be very careful about if
one introduces career paths or broad-banding. The fact that one found the same grade in different career paths made it
such that all the career paths were interlocked. One could not move (in terms of basic salary) one career path without
moving all the others. In the new system (MAPS), since bands are unique to career paths, one can change one career
path’s salary span without moving the others, and we believe this is something which is very dangerous....
