Compensation And Classification Pay Plan Update

Description

INTRODUCTION The City of Fountain Inn solicits written proposals from qualified firms to assist the City with an update to its established compensation and classification program. The City completed a full compensation and classification study in September 2023, established pay bands, and has reviewed the majority of its job descriptions. Accordingly, this solicitation is intended to obtain professional services to refresh the City’s pay bands, evaluate market competitiveness, identify pay compression or placement concerns, and complete a targeted review of job descriptions as needed rather than to conduct a full classification study from the ground up. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The primary purpose of this project is to update and maintain the City’s existing compensation and classification framework. The City’s objectives are to: •Refresh established pay bands using current market data from comparable public-sector employers and relevant regional labor markets. •Maintain the City’s ability to attract and retain qualified employees while supporting responsible fiscalplanning. •Review pay grade placement, pay ranges, market position, and pay compression concerns within theexisting structure. •Identify any positions that may warrant reclassification, title adjustment, pay band movement, oradditional review based on changes in duties, market conditions, or internal equity. •Complete a targeted review of job descriptions for accuracy, consistency, essential functions, minimumqualifications, physical requirements, and compliance with applicable FLSA, EEO, and ADAconsiderations. •Provide clear recommendations, implementation options, and practical tools for the City to maintain thepay plan and job description system after completion of the project.
