Exclamation Minimum salary to Maximum salary

Good day.

Just wondering.
When u see job ads,
it says minimum $** , maximum $**.
The ad i'm seeing for example, not sure if they gonna pay salary or hourly,
but ad says Min Salary $** , Max Salary $**.
And there's about $14000 difference between min and max.
If calculated hourly, it's about $6~7 dollars difference.

My question is ...
Does it mean depending on skill level/experience, they choose my wage between that range??
OR
Start with minimum and get to maximum eventually??
if so.
how long does it usually take from minimum to maximum?
I know it depends on the company policy but just wanna know what the usual is. After probation, after a year, something like that.

BTW, it's a trade job, and it's a city job.
Thanks in advance.

My guess is if you have minimum experience and min qualifications you get the min offered. Any extra exp or qualification that are applicable then the rate goes up . My guess

I would think it depnds on job skills and where you would fit in the pay grid, this way you have room to move up and earn more money.

That is how I would interpret it as well.

It'll be related to experience. Unless you're tremendously qualified, you won't start much beyond the mid mark. With it being a city job, you'll be on a grid that won't change a whole lot beyond yearly cost of living adjustments.

Firstly I have been working for the City in management capacity for the past two years have done some hiring (actually 8 people). Generally if you have some experience you can start your negotiations from the Mid point of the salary up. If you have more experience than most of the people doing that job you can negotiate to the highest level in Union jobs and in Management even higher than maximum, but, they must really need you and the hiring manager is willing to make a business case and re-classify that job. Generally mid-point and a little plus is where most people end up.
Just my 2 cents
