Proposal to the City of Santa Ana /Confidential Association of Santa Ana Compensation Study completion of surveys as needed. Once the project team has completed their survey analysis tasks, the CPS HR Project Manager will audit the final data as part of our quality review process, To determine whether a match from a labor market agency is comparable to the City and CASA's benchmark, CPS HR utilizes a whole job analysis methodology; this commonly used methodology analyzes the Job as a whole, rather than by individual factors, by evaluating the core duties and responsibilities, the nature and level of work performed, and the minimum qualifications to determine whether the classification Is comparable enough to be utilized as a match, The methodology recognizes slight differences in duties assigned to matches from other labor market agencies which do not Impact the type, nature, and level of work performed. Matches should not be so broad that they include classifications performing dissimilar work, or work done at a higher or lower level, but they also should not be so narrow that they exclude matches doing comparable work, with slight differences in work that do not change the level and nature of work. Task S— Design and Develop Data Spreadsheets, CPS HR will develop an Individual data sheet for each survey classification that presents the comparable classification used in each agency with the relevant data associated with that classification, such as the position ranking within the labor market and salary range minimum and maximum. The labor market data analyses will be conducted based upon the labor market position affirmed within the City and CASA's compensation philosophy (e.g,, median, mean, or other percentile). Cach comparable match for each survey classification is reported in the relevant data sheet for full disclosure and review by others. We find this level of transparency in matching provides for a better Understanding and acceptance of study results. TOTAL COMPENSATION ONLY Task 6 -w Conduct Benefits Analysis. The benefits data submitted from the labor market agencies will be Incorporated into the base salary data sheets to provide a total compensation analysis. This quantitative analysis of program costs will provide the City and CASA with an understanding of how the study classes compare against their market when the costs of benefits programs are taken into consideration. Within these data sheets, four (4) different analyses can be conducted based on how our clients wish to view the data; 1. An analysis of where the survey classification fails within the labor market for base salary 2, An analysis of where the survey classification falls within the labor market when the cost of cash add-ons is taken into consideration (total cash) 3. An analysis of where the survey classification falls within the labor market when the cost of cash add-ons and health programs are taken into consideration 4. An analysis of where the survey classification falls within the labor market when the cost of cash add-ons, health program costs and retirement contributions are taken Into consideration (total compensation) other analyses can be conducted based upon the City and CASA's needs.
