The objective of the Class Comp Study is to ensure that the City is providing reasonable, fair, and competitive compensation to its employees and seeks to properly allocate positions/classifications which have evolved and changed to meet the city’s needs. The consultant shall (1) develop a classification structure that reflects the City's overall classification and compensation strategy and includes a clear definition of terms and the development of career ladders for full-time and part-time employees; (2) develop class specifications (job descriptions) that reflect current duties and requirements of the positions that include physical requirements and essential job functions; (3) conduct a total compensation analysis with accurate assessment on how the City’s compensation plan compares with comparable cities and including employer costs for all benefits; and (4) recommend appropriate classifications for each employee and identify discrepancies between existing classification.
