Evergreen Solutions was engaged with Texas A & M University – San Antonio (TAMUSA) to conduct a Compensation Study. Evergreen’s consultants performed the following tasks: identified positions and incumbents where salaries were not competitive based on use of compensable factors and ratios; validated that entry level pay grade minimums were comparable to the current San Antonio market; developed a plan to increase salaries to a competitive level to include phase-in options; developed guidelines to maintain internal equity and continue to compensate employees at competitive rates; and assisted in recommending pay grades for staff members that were currently not tied to a formal pay grade (i.e., approximately 54 staff needed to be linked to an appropriate pay grade range).
