Title
Ordinance amending FY 19-20 Budget Wage Compensation
Body
SUMMARY: A Classification & Compensation Study, which was completed by McGrath Human Resources Group, gathered data to create a Compensation Schedule for the City of Crossville. The project involved several steps: collection of data, interviews, and data analysis. McGrath Human Resources Group recommended a compensation schedule, as well as a philosophy demonstrating the City’s commitment to compensate employees based on the average market, as follows:
While maintaining fiscal responsibility, the City of Crossville is committed to compensating in a manner that is equitable across all employee groups and is reflective of the external market. Specifically, the City’s goal is to achieve the following objectives:
A) Attract and retain highly qualified, productive, and committed employees;
B) Ensure employees reach the 50th percentile of the external market over a measured period of time when employees are fully proficient and meeting expectations;
C) Ensure the compensation schedule maintains external competitiveness;
D) Recognize the internal worth of jobs and ensure internal equity;
E) Ensure consistent administration and application of pay policies; and
F) Ensure that pay plan administration decisions are not based upon nor influenced by an employee’s sex, race, color, age, religion, or any other legally protected personal characteristic.
A budget amendment is necessary for implementation of the classification and compensation study.
