Appendix B: Salary Survey Summary

Introduction At the request of the Mobile County Personnel Board, Condrey and Associates, Inc. entered into a contract with the Board for the development of a job classification and compensation plan for all jurisdictions covered by the Board. The objectives of the study included: 1. Reviewing and revising the current classification system and pay plan for all merit

system employees; 2. Collecting wage survey data; 3. Producing a recommended pay plan based on job analysis, job evaluation, and wage

survey data; and 4. Revising existing job specifications. The process used to collect the necessary data and develop the classification and compensation plan consisted of several steps or phases. The first step involved the distribution of a position questionnaire to all merit system employees. The questionnaire covered major aspects of the employee's position as well as the physical demands and work environment of the position. After reviewing the information on the position questionnaires, Condrey and Associates interviewed employees individually and developed a classification recommendation for each position. Approximately 25% of position incumbents were personally interviewed for the study. Our experience in interviewing system employees was a positive one. The Board and its jurisdictions should take pride in their competent and professional workforces. The next phase in the work plan involved evaluating each classification for grade assignment. In order to provide a reliable set of ratings, all positions were rated by Condrey and

Associates utilizing the Factor Evaluation System (FES). An explanation of FES follows in another section of the report.

The project also involved collecting salary survey information. Condrey and Associates conducted a salary survey of selected organizations specifically for this study. The survey respondents are listed in Table I. Summary results of the study are presented in Appendix B.

Even after completion of these phases, it will be necessary to reevaluate positions based on a change in duties or on a refocused job description. It is the intention of Condrey and Associates to provide technical assistance in this process.
