Salary Grade Assignment and Reassignment Sample Clauses

Salary Grade Assignment and Reassignment. The City’s compensation policy recognizes the value of both market data and internal equity in assigning classifications to grades. The methods to be used, and their order of priority, are: • Market Data - Local government market data is preferred for assigning classifications to grades when available. If not sufficient, the Association will consider market data from the private sector or from outside the local area, provided the Association and the Human Resources Department agree that the jobs are comparable. • Internal Equity - In conjunction with market data, internal equity will be used to assign classifications to grades. This may consist of comparing the classification under review with others in the same grade, with others in nearby grades, with others in the same or similar job series, and with others in the same reporting line (subordinates and supervisors/managers).
