Define job structure, pay level, and pay structure.

Job structure consists of the relative pay for different jobs within an organization. It establishes relative pay among different functions and different levels of responsibility. Pay level is the average amount (including wages, salaries, and bonuses) the organization pays for a particular job. Together, job structure and pay levels establish a pay structure that helps the organization achieve goals related to employee motivation, cost control, and the ability to attract and retain talented human resources.
