Evergreen Solutions was retained by the Hillsborough County Clerk of Court and Comptroller to conduct a Classification and Compensation Study. Evergreen reviewed the Clerkâs classification and compensation structure and provided a phased implementation plan would be the most cost affordable. This study included a review of current compensation practices and the development of a compensation philosophy, defining the appropriate labor market to which the Clerk should be compared, conducting a market salary and benefits study, evaluating the FLSA status of each position, making salary recommendations for various jobs based on market data collected, completing an assessment of total compensation, and providing recommendations to assist with implementation. Employees were given the opportunity to attend orientation sessions, employee focus groups and participate in the Job Assessment Tool process for classification valuation as a component of the study.
