My understanding is that there are 17 different jobs, all of which have <br />reasonably recent job descriptions. I also understand that the city is billed for <br />employee healthcare on an individual employee basis determined by age. <br /> <br />The city leadership team wants a study that contrasts Arden Hills total pay practices <br />with a reasonable group of cities in the area. Total pay for purposes of the study <br />means cash payments, health and welfare benefits and paid time off. Some city <br />employees are represented by the 49ers for purposes of collective bargaining. <br /> <br />The city is required to comply with pay equity statutes. Thus, any actions <br />contemplated as a result of the study should be tested to determine whether <br />compliance is maintained post implementation. Evaluating jobs to establish a <br />logical hierarchy is an option that can be performed at the same time. <br /> <br />Activity Hours Cost <br />Gather information about the city functions and jobs in <br />preparation for market analysis and subsequent activities. This <br />includes job description review and benefit plan review. <br />2 $200 <br />Prepare a table showing comparative demographic and economic <br />information for potential peer market comparison. This data will <br />be gathered from multiple sources and peers will be <br />recommended based on the greatest similarities. Geographic <br />location is significant for some jobs and may mean looking at some <br />larger neighbors. The table will be used along with historical city <br />practices to develop a short list of about 10 -12 most logical peers. <br />1 $100 <br />Gather market data for key benchmark jobs. These are jobs that <br />are most directly compared to jobs in other peer market <br />employers. This can begin as soon as there is sufficient job <br />information to select and describe benchmarks. A survey will be <br />prepared to send to peers. Participants will get a f ree copy of the <br />summary report. <br />6 $600 <br />Gather policy and benefit information from peer organizations to <br />facilitate comparison with Arden Hills. <br />4 $400 <br />Evaluate jobs using a point factor system for internal equity. The <br />hours are reduced since job will already be reviewed. (Optional) <br />2 $200
