Findings
Many jobs are within market average
Within 5% typically competitive, but with labor shortage and higher paying
entry level positions, most cities are looking to be slightly above market
average
Some cities are as high as 5%-20% above market average as their pay
philosophy
Change of Scope of Project
In original scope, the City would update job descriptions and DDA review
Due to the inconsistencies within market average, DDA suggested added
classification updates to project scope

What is Pay Equity?
Job Worth
We are the only state that requires Pay Equity
Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB)
enforces the Local Pay Equity Act (MN Statutes
§§471.991-999)
Created to examine local government pay
structure for evidence of gender equity
Failure to complete and remain in compliance
could result in loss of Local Government Aid
Pay Equity looks at the position, number of
males and females in positions, comp worth,
and minimum and maximum ranges

Recommendation
Adding one additional step and removing first step?
This allows growth for employees maxed out and future growth for others
Puts city in a highly competitive pay philosophy
Reclassification costs as of October 1, 2023 would be an estimated $6,400-
11,000 depending on the selected policy
New step added in 2024 would be an additional estimated $34,000 (General
Fund)
Benefits of Ongoing Maintenance from
clients
Increase employee retention levels
More transparent process
Updated job descriptions
Less anxiety on compensation
Increased applicant pool for recruitment
Minimal budget disruptions
Assist with more efficient and effective labor
negotiation process
Future budge forecasts are more accurate
