What is a Classification and Compensation Study?
These studies are conducted to re-examine the responsibilities, salary and work performed by various positions. The study’s purposes are to develop new job descriptions, classify the positions according to a uniform factor point analysis standard, survey the market of comparable communities to determine representative rates of compensation, and to develop and recommend a pay plan. – Case Study Example
As a result of these studies each position is classified and assigned a pay plan grade
according to its relative economic job worth in relation to the marketplace and other similarly classified positions within the Municipality. The end result is a Classification Plan (pay grades) and Compensation Plan (salary schedule) along with new job descriptions.
