The salary scale, also called the pay scale, is the number of benefits that an employee receives as their wage or salary from the employer, which depends on the employee’s position or rank, duration of employment, and the importance of work done. Various factors determine the salary scale of any particular profession and also the location, i.e. the city or country also is a major factor in the salary scale. The average monthly starting salary in India is INR ₹24,000, comparatively less than a fifth of what is paid in other developing countries. To get a perspective of a salary range for specific job positions or ranks within a country or a market in general, businesses often use salary tools that help them structure a salary strategy. This is especially important for international businesses with remote employees in many countries.
