Dual Agency Classification and Compensation Study Services

Two government agencies in Illinois are seeking dual agency classification and compensation study services to align their compensation philosophies with organizational strategies. The agencies need consultant approaches to maintain internal equity, ensure market competitiveness, address salary compression, and support recruitment and retention. The scope of work requires a job evaluation and classification review, which includes validating job descriptions, applying a structured job evaluation methodology, and engaging employees and management in the process. The selected consultant must also conduct a market compensation analysis by identifying comparable agencies and performing benchmarking and percentile analysis. This analysis must use weighted benchmarks from other recreation agencies, similarly sized government agencies, and appropriate private sector businesses. Additionally, the project covers compensation structure development, which requires creating salary ranges and assigning jobs to specific salary grades. The agencies require a process for evaluating new, revised, and non-benchmarked jobs to ensure appropriate salary grade assignment. The consultant must also perform an analysis of equity and compression within the new structure. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or online. The agencies are currently looking for proposals to determine the budget, and all performance of the work will take place offsite.
