Jefferson County Public Schools Executive Summary

MAG was requested to assist in a review of the current compensation and classification system for the Jefferson County Public Schools.

Survey Findings:

MAG's findings and recommendations are based on a comprehensive market survey.

For General Titles: At the market minimum, the District lagged the market by -5.66% At the market midpoint the District lagged the market by -1.88% At the market maximum the District leads the market by 0.67% 51 General benchmark positions were included in the survey to 20 target organizations.

For Teachers: At the market minimum, the District leads the market by 13.09% At the market midpoint the District leads the market by 14.81% At the market maximum the District leads the market by 15.89% This survey included 17 target organizations.

The data from the survey were used to assist with the classification of the various jobs within the pay structure. The market data serves as an indicator of market trends, and the internal job analysis serves as a balancing element for determining pay grade assignment.

MAG has developed a revised pay plan for all positions included in the study based on these factors. MAG's target salary recommendations consider the following:

Current salary; Current job title or rank; and, Length of total service from the reported promotion date to the recommended implementation

date of July 1, 2016.

This approach addresses both external (market) and internal (job responsibilities) equity issues. The recommendations in the report accomplish the following:

? Brings about internal equity for employees in consideration of time in position; ? Greatly simplifies the salary plan for internal administration; ? Provides a simple, easy to understand plan for employees; ? Freezes any salary that exceeds the range maximum; and, ? Allows for future adjustments to the structure to accommodate market changes.
