Metropolitan Area Management Association <br /> • Compensation Study <br /> Process Summary <br /> The plan for development and implementation of a FOCAS (.Flexible <br /> Occupational Analysis System) job analysis and evaluation system <br /> for 25 benchmark jobs defined by the MAMA Committee and for <br /> subsequent evaluation of MAMA member cities ' non-benchmark jobs is <br /> summarized below. <br /> FOCAS is a questionnaire-based job analysis and evaluation <br /> system. FOCAS has been developed to provide accurate and <br /> comprehensive information about jobs to support effective human <br /> resource management. <br /> The first step in the process is to develop questionnaires to be <br /> used to gather information about what employees do . We will use <br /> one questionnaire for each occupational group. The MAMA Committee <br /> will identify one subject matter expert and an advisory group from <br /> each occupational group to work with Business Advisors . These <br /> individuals will provide their job content expertise throughout <br /> questionnaire development and job evaluation, and should be very <br /> knowledgeable about jobs in their occupational area . Business <br /> Advisors , together with a team of MAMA member cities ' Personnel <br /> Directors, will develop preliminary questionnaires based upon <br /> existing job descriptions and the Business Advisors data bank of <br /> • task items . The Personnel Director team will identify and <br /> schedule employee workshops to be conducted jointly with Business <br /> Advisors , to modify preliminary questionnaires . Questionnaires <br /> will be finalized with the advisory group for that occupational <br /> area . <br /> Second , Personnel Directors will schedule and conduct meetings <br /> with employees for them to complete the questionnaire for their <br /> occupational group. In filling out questionnaires , employees will <br /> indicate for each task that they do or do not perform it and how <br /> much time they spend on tasks performed relative to other tasks . <br /> Third , Business Advisors will provide data entry from the <br /> questionnaires and provide computer-generated position <br /> descriptions for each employee who filled out a questionnaire . <br /> This is a listing of tasks performed with time spent percentages . <br /> The supervisor and employee will review and verify or modify the <br /> position description. The Personnel Director team will collect <br /> and return all modified position descriptions to Business <br /> Advisors . Business Advisors will provide data entry and return <br /> revised position descriptions to the Personnel Director team for <br /> distribution to supervisors/employees . These will serve as final <br /> position descriptions . <br />
