- "Pay Range Positioning Summary": description about pay range, but no actual numbers. It says "The pay range listed represents the company’s good faith estimate of the salary or wage range for this position at the time of posting, as required under applicable law." It does not give actual numbers. Since we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them (specific numbers). It does not give a range, just description.
