DISCUSSION:
On April 21, 2020, the City entered into a contract with The Segal Group, Inc. to conduct a comprehensive City-wide classification and compensation study to yield recommended classification specifications and a proposed competitive salary structure.
The Segal Group, Inc. conducted an extensive salary survey, reviewed over 230 job titles, and received and analyzed job description questionnaires from approximately 330 employees. At the completion of the study, the Segal Group, Inc. recommended the establishment of a new salary structure and an overhaul of the job descriptions to ensure uniformity and modernization. In addition, several classifications were retitled to better describe the job duties being performed, and classifications deemed obsolete were recommended for removal.
The Human Resources Department negotiated in good faith with the IFPTE Local 21 Mid-Management Bargaining Unit regarding the implementation of the recommendations of the study. The parties have come to an agreement about the implementation of the study via a contract amendment agreement. The agreement provides for:
Implementation of the Segal Classification and Compensation Study for the IFPTE Local 21 Mid-Management Bargaining Unit as negotiated by the parties.
