During the <br />contract negotiations that occurred in 2015, the City and the Service Employees International <br />Union (SEIU) agreed that a Classification and Compensation Study would be conducted and the <br />parties would meet and confer over the implementation of the study findings. <br />A Classification and Compensation Study will ensure that current position descriptions and total <br />compensation are in line with work assignments and expectations. The study will include <br />performing a job analysis on a select number of SEIU classifications and making <br />recommendations on position description revisions to create the most accurate job descriptions <br />for the organization that reflect current job duties and requirements of the positions. Additionally, <br />job ladders and career development paths will also be a component used when designing the <br />new classification plan. Also included in the scope of the study will be a compensation analysis <br />designed to ensure the SEIU employees are paid competitive and sustainable wages and <br />benefits package. <br />Six firms submitted proposals to the classification and compensation study for the City. The firms <br />included Ralph Anderson & Associates, Public Sector Personnel Consultants, CPS HR <br />Consulting, Koff and Associates, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. and Creative Management Solutions. <br />The proposals were reviewed and evaluated by a team consisting of the Personnel Director, the <br />25D-1 <br />
