Proposal to provide a classification and compensation study to Elk River Municipal Utilities November 2023
<br />Baker Tilly will use ERMU's existing iob descriptions to conduct job evaluation. New PAQs can be
<br />completed as necessary to capture new or changed positions. These results will be reconciled against the
<br />other positions to maintain internal equity.
<br />Phase 3:
<br />Market Assessment
<br />Peer organizations: Baker Tilly will recommend a list of comparable and competitive peer organizations
<br />to include in the study. To maintain a competitive price for the project, we have assumed the custom
<br />market survey will be distributed to 10 public peer organizations. Data from 3 published sources will be
<br />included as a private sector representative.
<br />Private sector companies rarely respond to market survey requests. Therefore, to represent the private
<br />sector in the data set, we utilize pay data contained in the following survey sources:
<br />• CompAnalyst
<br />• Economic Research Institute
<br />• PayFactors
<br />Benchmark positions: We understand that this project includes approximately 32 iob classification titles
<br />and, as such, all 32 positions will be included in the survey as benchmarks.
<br />Data analysis: In distributing the custom market study, Baker Tilly will request base pay ranges for
<br />analogous positions. The survey will include a minimum qualification and a summary of work performed
<br />by each position to assist peers in matching their positions. Baker Tilly will review and validate survey
<br />responses to confirm a 75% overlap in duties and responsibilities, as this is the best practice definition of
<br />a "good" match.
<br />Adjustments may be applied to establish consistency in market comparison; those include:
<br />• Adjustments for differences in workweek hours
<br />• Aging the data if it's not for the current fiscal year
<br />• Geographic cost of labor adjustments
<br />Baker Tilly will deliver three market reports once the compiled data has been analyzed for quality
<br />assurance. First, an aggregate of the average minimum, midpoint, and maximum for each benchmark;
<br />second, a comparison of the ERMU's current midpoints against the market average midpoint; third, a
<br />comparison of the full range against the market.
