Phase I STEP 1. Orientation Because of the significance of any type of compensation study, a clear understanding of and agreement to the work plan is critical. We will begin the project by meeting with all appropriate City officials and management including but not limited to the City Manager and Human Resources Director to clarify the following issues: · Specific issues regarding the current classification and pay structure(s); · Develop the list of comparable organizations to be surveyed; and · Study time line and methodology. At the orientation, we will also obtain information on current practices and job specifications. Phase II STEP 2. Job Analysis The Mercer Group, Inc, consultants will review and analyze all job descriptions/classifications to ensure a thorough understanding of all positions; we will work with the City to identify appropriate benchmark positions. Phase III STEP 3. Market Analysis/Survey The survey instrument will be developed as part of our assessment and understanding of the needs of the City. We will work with the City to come to an agreement on the organizations to be included in this survey. We may recommend that the market survey be a request for the comparable organization's entire pay plan with a follow-up telephone or personal survey for clarification of information. This approach will shorten the time normally needed to receive and analyze the information. We will develop the appropriate strategy with the client at project orientation. The Mercer Group, Inc., will analyze all information and a detailed report will be prepared regarding the responses.
