<br />Pay Plan
<br />Baker Tilly will prepare a new pay structure for ERMU based on the results of the project. Grade
<br />assignments will be established based on job evaluation results, per MN law. The relationship between
<br />internal and external data points will be measured through a regression analysis to ensure an unbiased
<br />and equitable approached to establishing grade assignments and pay plan adjustments. These results
<br />will be reviewed and finalized with ERMU's project team.
<br />Sample regression analysis
<br />y = 146.51x + 18737
<br />R' = 0.9347
<br />Implementation and costing analysi:
<br />Up to this point, the study has focused on the value of the position. Once the grade assignments are
<br />finalized, Baker Tilly will estimate the cost for the ERMU to implement the new classification and
<br />compensation plan for the 34 positions. This will include the minimum cost to implement and can look at a
<br />scenario for employees to receive across the board adjustments, and/ or a scenario to address pay
<br />compression by moving employees into their new pay range relative to years in position.
