TITLE Recommendation to adjust pay grades upward and update specifications for classification #322 Cartographer/GIS Technician, and #323 Cartographer/GIS Technician Senior.

Issue, Description & Background

As part of the strategy to maintain Marion County compensation and classification programs, human resources (HR) periodically reviews classification specifications and pay ranges. The classification review ensures classification specifications reflect current industry language, standards and county practices, and positions are properly classified and placed in the appropriate pay range. This also brings the classification closest to the mean (0%) of market comparables within the county's current pay structure. Internal equity may also be used in determining appropriate compensation.
