Evergreen has been hired by the City of Rochester Hills to perform a Comprehensive Compensation Study. Evergreen’s consultants will: conduct a competitive market analysis of base compensation and benefits; provide a comparative historical, current, and projected trend analysis of “across-the-board” or Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) utilized by benchmarked organizations; execute a comprehensive market comparison and gap analysis of the City’s entire “Total Rewards” package; identify and recommend tailored pay, premium, or compensation strategies for key, historically difficult-to-fill positions to improve recruitment and talent retention; conduct a high-level evaluation of each City classification to guarantee robust internal equity is structurally maintained across different employee groups and organizational hierarchies; deliver strategic best practices and actionable recommendations for managing compensation, incentives, or retention strategies for employees who have reached the maximum step of their current pay grade; and verify and audit all positions for proper FLSA-exempt and non-exempt designations.
