City of Ridgefield, WA: Classification and Compensation Study

Evergreen Solutions was engaged with the City of Ridgefield to conduct a Classification and Compensation Study. The City desired to maintain an internally and externally equitable, yet market competitive, classification and compensation plan. The City strived to competitively recruit and retain employees who provided the best service to the community. The City had not conducted an in-depth review of the classification and compensation structure since 2015-16 and since that time had grown from 37 to 52 FTE’s, including seven (7) new classifications.
