Evergreen Solutions was retained by Florida Virtual School (FLVS) to conduct a Comprehensive Compensation Study that included a detailed market analysis and internal equity review to improve the fairness in the current compensation and classification system of FLVS. Evergreen’s consultants evaluated current pay grades for each classification to ensure they aligned with the appropriate market data obtained from local public school districts and private employers, and provided recommendations as to whether the pay grades were appropriate for the classifications, both internally and externally. Evergreen’s recommendations took into consideration the current professional compensation strategies, compensation philosophy, pay practices and research, as well as applicable laws, statutes and regulations governing FLVS. Evergreen developed alternative recommendations demonstrating the methodology the FLVS should use to implement the compensation recommendations and the advantages, disadvantages, and costs of each alternative.
