FROM: James D. Herberg, General Manager
Originator: Celia Chandler, Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: PRELIMINARY CLASSIFICATION & COMPENSATION STUDY RESULTS
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
Information Only.
BACKGROUND
Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) initiated its comprehensive
classification and compensation (C & C) study in March 2015 for the purpose of updating
its job classification specifications and benchmarking against other organizations' job
structures and compensation systems. Classification and Compensation studies are
conducted periodically by organizations to obtain information on how other agencies
structure their positions and compensate employees in similar positions.
Key business reasons for conducting the Sanitation District's study were changes due to
reorganization, recruitment/retention considerations, and labor relations, in addition to the
time lapse from the prior study.
The classification phase is near completion, with discussions with bargaining units
ongoing to finalize classification specifications.
Koff & Associates has completed data collection for the study's compensation phase.
Georg Krammer, Chief Executive Officer with Koff&Associates,will present a preliminary
summary of the compensation study findings.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Support ongoing workforce planning and workforce development efforts
• Comply with Article 29 Classification Studies of OCSD's Memoranda of
Understanding with represented employee groups
• Industry best practices recommend a study every five years for business relevance
and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA)
PROBLEM
The C & C study provides an opportunity for the organization to update its compensation
plan in support of Board direction.
