The City last conducted a comprehensive salary study which was approved by City Council in 2006. In order to insure external comparability and competitiveness and determine internal pay equity issues, an updated study of the current Executive and Non-Exempt pay classifications and benefits is required.
DISCUSSION:
The City obtained three proposals from qualified compensation consultants to conduct a comprehensive salary and benefit survey and market competitiveness analysis that compares the City's compensation system and benefits to that of the public and private sectors. The City provided the following study objectives: (1) Compare the city's total compensation and benefits levels in relation to appropriately comparable public and private employers. (2) Assess compression and salary between non-union supervisors and union subordinates and identify appropriate options to prevent compression or other pay inequalities. (3) Summarize the financial impact of implementing recommended modifications to compensation. After careful review and consideration of all elements required in this study, the proposal submitted by the Hay Group best meets all of the requirements of the study within the required time frame and at an acceptable cost of $41,000. Funds for this study are budgeted in Account #101-1220-419-3299. The Hay Group has no outstanding debt to the City.
