Why do I see two salary ranges?

The City of Greeley, in compliance with Colorado State law, includes a salary range for all positions. This law is intended to improve wage transparency. The City of Greeley, in support of wage transparency, posts both the full salary range for each position (what you might anticipate your earning could be if you work for the City of Greeley for some time), as well as the anticipated hiring range (the range within which the City anticipates making an offer). The actual offer extended will be based on your years of relevant experience, education, certifications and potentially other factors.
