Classification and Compensation
The City of Greenville employs
more than 850 employees in a multitude of areas and functions. Each job is included
in a classification that defines its job description and level in the organization.
The system of classifications partners with our compensation structure to determine
pay levels and ensure that the employees are working and being paid at the appropriate
levels.
Our responsibilities include conducting studies of positions and making recommendations
on proper job classification and pay, overseeing the City's Merit Increase Program,
and writing and revising job descriptions. The City of Greenville uses both a point
factor and market-based approach to pay structure development.
Staff also has responsibility for updating and maintaining the City's pay plan and
administrative regulations that relate to classification and compensation. In addition,
we conduct and respond to pay and benefit surveys, and provide advice on Human Resource
policy and FLSA issues.
Additionally, we provide consultation and advice to departments in a variety of
areas, including changes in positions; the application of City policies relating
to compensation practices; performance management; salary review and adjustment;
and resolution of classification and compensation disputes.
