COMPENSATION AND CLASSIFICATION PAY PLAN UPDATE

The City of Fountain Inn seeks qualified consulting firms to update its existing compensation and classification program. Building on a comprehensive study completed in September 2023, the City needs refreshed pay bands, market‑competitiveness analysis, identification of any pay compression or placement issues, and targeted revisions to job descriptions where necessary. The scope is limited to updating and fine‑tuning the current framework rather than conducting a full classification study from scratch. Deliverables are expected to include an updated compensation matrix, a report on market benchmarking, recommendations for addressing identified issues, and revised job descriptions for affected positions. • Refresh existing pay bands and align them with current market data. • Conduct market‑competitiveness analysis and identify pay compression concerns. • Perform targeted job‑description reviews and update only where gaps are identified. • Provide a final report with recommendations and implementation guidance. • Offer post‑delivery support for a limited period to address questions or minor adjustments.
