The hiring salary can be no less than the minimum salary of the grade, and no more than the hiring maximum of the grade.  Only in the event of extraordinary circumstances, requiring Human Resources Department and VP-level approval, will an exception be considered. Hiring rates should be commensurate with employee’s qualifications and related experience, and consistent with internal equity and departmental budget guidelines.
