Page 8 of 12 City of Little Canada, MN: Compensation Proposal o You need the study to be a positive process, that is open and fair to all employees, managers, and unions. We approach compensation study work as a practical, common-sense process – not as some theoretical or statistical exercise in regression analysis. We collect information, analyze it, and communicate our findings in simple understandable ways. Our honest g oal is to help you design a compensation system that is technically solid, is one you actually understand, and one that works better than what you have now. We measure our effectiveness as a consulting firm not by studies completed, but by studies that are actually implemented. PROPOSED SERVICES Per our discussion, we are providing a proposal for a market analysis and pay structure calibration and ongoing maintenance. Our proposal includes 2 separate proposal quotes: a Market Study which will collect, analyze wage data of comparable organizations , provide recommendations to updating your current pay plan in comparison with the market and calibrate your current pay structure and our ongoing maintenance plan. This maintenance plan includes a three-year commitment by completing a market analysis each year, review, re-write, and reclassifications of job descriptions, calibration of pay structure, pay equity administration, entering League of MN Cities and Association of MN Counties salary data and additional human resources assistance. Our ongoing maintenance involves employees and managers in updating all job descriptions, re-classifying and ranking these jobs internally based upon job duties and requirements, reviewing and updating or replacing your current pay plan, and assistance in evaluating the method and costs of implementing any changes on future budgets. Introduction and Project Orientation (Included in all) Our first task with you is to meet and make sure we all understand the expectations and fully understand the current pay structure, pay philosophy, and employee benefits. • We will conduct an Initial Project Meeting to discuss the scope of the planned services, its procedures, methods, intended outcomes and timeline. We will keep in mind directives from the governing board pertaining to this project. • We will discuss any related details that are identified. During this meeting, we will identify data and resources on your current job descriptions, pay structure, classification system, employee roster, and union contracts. For your convenience, we will create a cloud -based account to make it easy to share files with you. • An Employee Kickoff meeting will be held, if desired, to explain the project scope, expectations, timeline, and answer questions. Job Description General Review (Included in all options) We will undertake a general review of your existing job descriptions and recommend changes to assure compliance with ADA and other State and Federal Requirements. W e can rewrite any job descriptions for an additional cost.
