Evergreen Solutions was engaged with the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) to conduct a Compensation Study. Evergreen’s consultants reviewed of the current job classification placement within the grade structure as well as an opinion on the competitiveness and appropriateness of TriMet’s market position as defined by the grade structure used at TriMet compared to others. Evergreen also reviewed the 2018 Predictive Compensation Model (PCM) model adopted by TriMet to determine whether there were other options to establish a model which complied with the law, yet provided more flexibility and embedded performance into the model. In the end, Evergreen provided a final report that covered the following: a review of market comparison for current job classifications and grade placement within the grade structure; a recommendation on the grade structure used at TriMet compared to other organizations; recommendations for changes to the PCM that instilled some flexibility into the salary placement process, while continuing to be legally compliant with the Pay Equity Law; and an evaluation of market comparisons and cost of increasing the target to the 60th or 70th percentile.
