BNI utilizes a single posted salary range for positions that are subject to pay transparency requirements. Several jurisdictions require employers to disclose a "good faith" pay range in job postings, and requirements vary by state and locality. Rather than maintain multiple posting ranges for the same role, BNI applies a single approved range that represents the compensation range the company, in good faith, may pay for the position. This approach promotes compliance, consistency, pay equity, and administrative simplicity across jurisdictions.

Expected Annual Earnings: Approximately $2,500-$4,000 through commission-based compensation based on historical results. Actual earnings may be lower or higher based on individual participation and performance. Commission earnings are uncapped. Where required by applicable law or company policy, compensation will be supplemented as necessary to ensure compliance with minimum wage requirements.
