Pay Comparability with Public and Private Employers
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is for the County to be a competitive employer.
Policy
It is the policy of the BOCC that pay ranges for all employees be targeted to the 50th percentile in a comparison of pay with public and private employers. As a targeted goal for comparison purposes, the midpoint of each County pay range should represent the imputed market value of a job and should be set so that one-half of comparable employers pay lower (the basis for a 50th percentile) and the other one-half pay higher. However, as the BOCC considers the targeted percentile along with the total employee compensation package, it will be the BOCC discretion in determining where the actual pay ranges shall be established.
Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the Management and Budget Department and the Human Resources Department, under the direction of the County Administrator, to implement this policy.
