Consultant outlines compensation study steps; final recommendations expected in early 2025
Summary
Evergreen Solutions presented a six‑step classification and compensation study for Seaford that includes employee focus groups, a classification analysis, an external market salary survey and final recommendations with cost estimates; consultant Mark Holcomb said a final report and presentation are planned for the first quarter of 2025.
Evergreen Solutions presented the scope and timeline for a citywide compensation and classification study the firm is conducting for Seaford.
Mark Holcomb told council the engagement will include: (1) project introduction and data collection, (2) employee focus groups and surveys, (3) classification analysis of job descriptions, (4) an external market salary survey focused on peer organizations, (5) recommendations that balance internal equity and market competitiveness, and (6) final reporting and presentation. Holcomb said the market‑data collection and employee engagement steps will occur through December and January, with reporting and recommendations targeted for the first quarter of next year.
Holcomb emphasized the project will validate requests from employees with market data before making pay or classification recommendations and described options for recognizing temporary out‑of‑class work (acting pay or out‑of‑class assignments) if appropriate.
What happens next: consultant on‑site meetings and focus groups with employees are scheduled; staff and union representatives will participate; results and cost estimates will be returned to council in early 2025 for any policy adoption.
