City of Fairhope, AL: Classification and Compensation Study

Evergreen was hired by the City of Fairhope to conduct a Classification and Compensation Study. The objectives of this study are to implement a compensation structure that ensures internal and external equity. We aim to establish a classification system that accurately defines the duties and qualifications for each job. We also intend to provide a performance-based pay plan and a long-term maintenance program. We will perform the following tasks: conduct a thorough job analysis for all positions through employee questionnaires and interviews; draft updated job descriptions; execute a comprehensive market wage and benefit survey; assign classifications to pay grades and identify solutions for pay compression; and train City staff to manage the new system.
