Hays County (County) is soliciting proposals for a qualified management consultant to conduct a comprehensive classification and compensation study to assist with maintaining a competitive and equitable classification and total compensation system for all positions (excludes Law Enforcement positions involved in a Collective Bargaining Agreement and certain Elected Officials) when considered in relation to each other (internally) and when compared to the external labor market. Hays County invites qualified management consultants to submit proposals to:
• Perform a review of the existing classification plan and related job descriptions,
• Perform a review of each departments staffing and organizational structure,
• Perform a salary study including public and private employers who are providing comparable services,
• Prepare recommendations for compensation policies, including cost of living and merit pay increases, career ladders and variable incentive pay options to maintain competitiveness, reward employees, and to ensure internal pay equity.
• Examine and compare benefits in relation to other local governments.
• Review the County’s current salary administration and salary exception processes and provide recommendations including developing a more systematic process. Items to consider are employees who are returning to the County and their previous pay, employees with direct County experience vs. other similar experience, etc.
