disagree  Eric Zink: Highest at the top is descending order. Your concept is better expressed "... by salary in descending order".
10 hrs
  -> The expression "in descending/ascending order " is not a bad fit. I just got the direction backwards. Probably looking for "(job) ranks in descending order". Mentioning salary was my way to illustrate the concept (order of importance), not to translate it

neutral  philgoddard: Sorry, but I think you've misunderstood this.

  -> Indeed. That info should have been provided upfront.

comparators


Explanation:
The question doesn't make much sense without the context, kindly provided by Steffen in the discussion box.

These are job comparators, ways of comparing individuals in an organisation, based on the number of people working for them and their degree of autonomy.

"Benchmarks" would be another possibility.

These seem to be career/role graduations or steps/increments in the hierarchy (in terms of different management responsibilities for people, projects etc.).

agree  Björn Vrooman: Similar to what you said, "levels of responsibility" would do. See p. 15 at http://data.parliament.uk/DepositedPapers/Files/DEP2008-0625... ("Fair comparator," with comparator being used for the role, not the descriptors). Or classification.
