Frameworks

Job Leveling Framework Template

Define what each level means, then place your people against it — consistently, with computed level recommendations.

Build a competency-based leveling framework and apply it the same way to everyone. The heart of the template is a rubric of five dimensions — scope of work, decision-making authority, technical expertise, leadership, and stakeholder management — across five levels (L1–L5), with fully editable descriptors. Rate an employee 1–5 on each dimension and the workbook computes a suggested level, a profile-fit read, and the development areas; a Roster Placement tab does it for your whole team and rolls the results into a level-distribution dashboard. A Communication Guide helps you explain levels and placements, including the harder conversations. Works for any job family in any industry; pairs with the Salary Range Builder to attach pay ranges to your levels.
