Job Titles and Pay Structure
Tip: What's the difference between an Admin I and an Admin II? Check out the Generic Job Profile Summaries below to compare requirements and responsibilities of job progressions within a job family.
Tip: Pay Ranges - Current employees can use the Career Navigator Tool to see pay ranges (under "Job Profile Attributes" at bottom of each job profile page) and details for specific jobs. External Jobseekers: pay ranges are shown on open positions.
Structure
Cornell has approximately 700 staff job profiles that are organized into 15 job families (for example, academic support, finance, IT, student support, health) across 9 pay bands (A through I). Each staff position is placed into a job profile classification within this structure based on the required qualifications and complexity of work.
Job Families
These generic job title summaries are intended to indicate the kinds of tasks and levels of work complexity that will be required of positions classified to any of these titles and are not intended to be construed as declaring the specific duties and responsibilities of any particular position. The use of particular expressions or illustrations describing functions within a specific job title does not exclude other duties of a similar kind and/or level of complexity. Positions are classified to a particular job title based upon the predominant level of expected work complexity. A position that is classified into exempt titles and bands must meet the Cornell requirements for exemption under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
