Compensation consulting

Pay levels for public sector agencies should be determined through well-understood and objective standards; competitive enough to attract and retain qualified, high-performing employees; sufficiently flexible to encourage initiative and innovation; and complimentary to overall organizational strategy to ensure responsible stewardship of public funds.

Baker Tilly’s methodology adheres to principles that ensure your organization conducts a study that meets its stated goals and objectives, has internal and external integrity, and faces the least resistance during and after implementation.

• Classification and compensation studies should include employee engagement ensuring support for the project is likely to grow organically, making for a more seamless implementation.
• Classification and compensation systems are the foundation of all other human resources programs, supporting the agency’s mission, vision and values and structured to achieve human capital management and workgroup operating goals.
• Position classification should be a defensible process based on a quantifiable, consistent system of job evaluation. Our proprietary, legally-validated job evaluation methodology (SAFE®) is unmatched.  It uniquely qualifies us to provide national services without geographic or industrial barriers. 
• Compensation surveys should include relevant benchmark organizations and reflect each entity’s defined compensation philosophy. Who does an entity compete with for talent? Are the demographic characteristics similar? Is there consistency in the services provided? What is the appropriate competitive position that affords the ability to recruit, retain and motivate employees while safeguarding public funds?
