5 Considerations Your compensation philosophy should be considered when selecting an implementation option: At what market position do you want your salary ranges? 50 th, 55 th, 60 th ?  Does not mean that employee’ salaries will be at this point. What do you want to reward…i.e., on what basis are you going to progress employee’ salaries? time in classification, tenure, performance, across the board or cost of living adjustments, hybrid approach?  Implementation method should be aligned.

6 Considerations (cont.) What pay issue(s) are you trying to address with this study? Implement a market-based compensation structure, Provide employee salary adjustments to “fix” an issue? If so, what issue? Compression?

7 Considerations (cont.) Institutional policies for pay progression, new hire salaries, promotions, etc. impact employee’ salaries and can contribute to or minimize compression. Different study implementation options will/won’t address compression. Range penetration option is “neutral”. Compression is when pay differentials are too small to be considered equitable. (supervisors and subordinates, experienced and newly hired with limited/no experience, high performers and lower performers).
