Explanation
BACKGROUND:
In 2009, the Economic Advisory Committee's Final Report recommended that the City conduct a Total Compensation Audit in order to assess the overall competitiveness of base pay, health insurance, and pension. In 2010, the Total Compensation Audit was conducted and results were shared. The Audit reviewed a sampling of classifications in each of the 10 different City pay plans. While the plans generally fell into the competitive range, the results indicated that the AFSCME pay plans need attention.
In preparation for the 2011 AFSCME negotiations, the City would like to build on the AFSCME market analysis work that was begun in the Total Comp Audit Final Report. This legislation is to enter into contract with Aon Hewitt Consulting Inc. to assess the competitiveness of the City's pay for an additional 60 classifications. Based on the combined information from the Total Comp Audit Final Report and this additional work, the consultant will work with the City to address the findings and develop specific recommendations for bargaining.
Especially in these difficult economic times, and in the wake of the passage of the City income tax increase, it is critical that the City maximize the dollars spent by neither over- nor under-paying to successfully recruit and retain employees with the knowledge and skills to ensure that the City provide the most efficient and effective government possible.
