Could someone please explain the 3 numbers? Using PAX 5 as an example, it says "$ 3,750 - 5,740 / 6,740", does it mean that 3750-5740 is the range? Then what about 6740?

PAX Salary Range (effective 1 Sep 2012)

PAX 2
$10,920 - 14,910 /16,900

PAX 3
$ 7,060 - 9,670 /10,980

PAX 4A/4E
$ 5,120 - 7,690 / 8,980

PAX 5A/5E
$ 3,750 - 5,740 / 6,740

PAX 6A/6E
$ 2,410 - 4,270 / 5,200

The range is $3750 to $6740.

Max. salary, also called ceiling for PAX5 is $6740. Implication is - Once you reach this number and if you have not been promoted, you will not get any Merit Increment. But you will still get your performance bonus. You will remain at this salary forever, unless there is a change in the ceiling which is usually changed after Salary Reviews, done every 4 years or so.

$5740 is the BAR. You need to cross this number before you can be considered for promotion to the next PAX level, which is PAX4.
