Evergreen was retained by Inyo County to conduct a Classification and Compensation Study. Evergreen performed the following: ensured that the County remains competitive in the job market when compared to similar organizations throughout California; assessed identified classifications relative to the requirements of “Exempt” and “Non-Exempt” status pursuant to the criteria of the Fair Labor Standards Act; recommended revisions to internal total compensation relationships that are consistent, uniform, and sustainable for the County in consideration of its budget constraints; identified positions in the County for which there are no genuine comparable positions elsewhere within comparable agencies and make recommendations to determine fair compensation; provided modern job descriptions for certain positions; ensured equitable pay relative to other County positions; and provided total compensation recommendations to the County based upon internal and external total compensation relationships.
