*Payscale Disclaimer*
Nimiipuu Health utilizes PayScale to help determine pay for positions. PayScale provides market data for localities similar to Lewiston, ID. An individual’s years of relevant experience is then compared to what others are paying individuals to perform that position with different years of experience in that field.
PayScale conducts salary surveys to collect a wide range of pay and job profile information. This information is used by Nimiipuu Health to receive a fair market valuation report to compare with what others are paying for positions in organizations (similar to Nimiipuu Health). Nimiipuu Health does not therefore have a set pay grade and step system that many of the other entities of the Nez Perce Tribe utilize. Any inquiry with regards to salary is then given in a range from minimum experience and would be different given the years of relevant experience to any given position.
