2. Council Bill/Resolution 1070-2017
A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement with GovHR USA, LLC (“GovHR”) for a comprehensive classification and compensation study in the amount of $53,000.00.
Explanation: An effective classification and compensation program is one that is reviewed and updated systematically allowing an employer to define what the organization wants to accomplish in its compensation policies and programs. A classification and compensation study allows an employer to compare its practices to those of other similarly situated employers. This periodic comparison is necessary for an employer to remain competitive in the job market by continuing to attract and retain qualified employees and controlling labor costs. It is also needed to ensure classification and compensation practices remain in compliance with the various federal and state laws. Requests for proposals were solicited and eight responses were received. The City’s Classification and Compensation Study Committee, comprised of the City’s Human Resources Manager, Human Resources Specialist, City Attorney, Planning and Development Director and Alderman Schoonmaker, reviewed the proposals and believes GovHR was the provider whose proposal was the most advantageous to the City and in the City’s best interest. Additional documentation attached.
Fiscal Impact: Funding available in the Liability Fund
