The City of Maricopa intends to establish a professional service contract for the Compensation & Classification Analysis Study for the City of Maricopa, Arizona. The City seeks a review of key classifications currently identified as exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and a review of select benchmark classifications to ensure they are properly categorized, and slotted in the appropriate pay range for all exempt and non-exempt employees. The Consultant will review job descriptions and recommend updates based on position questionnaires that are distributed and analyzed for benchmark classifications, as well as external and internal equity. The Consultant will be available to present classification plan recommendations to the City Manager, Mayor, and Council. The Consultant will recommend appropriate internal relationships between pay ranges and within pay structures. The City is seeking a comparison of its pay structure to other comparable towns and cities in Arizona to ensure it is competitive. The City is also looking for a recommended adjustment factor when comparing its salaries to those of local cities that are substantially larger. The City will seek market comparisons for the salaries of all City classifications. The City and consultant will agree which cities and towns should be included in the market comparison, and the consultant will identify the degree of match for each classification. The Consultant will review current compensation policies and practices and recommend changes as necessary to hiring rates for new hires, performance-based increases, forms of incentive pay, promotion pay increases, special assignment pay, call-out pay, shift differential, temporary assignments, and any other special pay programs (i.e., one-time lump sum payout).
