It does state salary range and hourly equivalent based on 40-hour workweek. That is pay info. It does not explicitly state schedule like "Full-time, Monday-Friday". The 40-hour workweek is implied but not explicitly a schedule statement. Safer to not create Schedule section. - Benefits: sign-on bonus is a benefit.

We'll put sign-on bonus under Benefits. - Also mention "Location: Onsite in Portage, MI" could be part of About the role or a separate section?
