Compensation & Benefits Study

Results of Stages One & Two

September 2010

College of Micronesia-FSM

Background Overview

COM’s current compensation model has four classifications of employees : Classified, Professional, Management and

Faculty.

Since their adoption in 1996 the classifications have not been adjusted to reflect appropriate labor markets and relevant

economic standards.

Background Overview

In brief, the study is to address the following areas:

a) accurate classifications and compensation

b) sustainable and competitive pay schedules

c) incentive program(s) linking directly to pay schedules

d) investigate duplicate and nonessential services

Background Overview

Stage 2 : External Analysis

Stage 1 : Internal Analysis (including Streamlining

Supp. Projects : Performance Management

Stage 3 : Implementation

b) Job Evaluation

Job evaluation is a process that re-examines the internal equity of all positions based on job size

b) Job Evaluation

It achieves this by assessing the ‘job size’ of individual positions within an organization

using a number of measurement factors

b) Job Evaluation

Each factor provides a point value with their sum representing the total “points”

value of the job

b) Job Evaluation

• Education• Experience• Complexity• Scope of Work• Problem Solving• Supervision Received

• Work Environment• Physical Demands• Authority Exercised• Results of Decisions• Contacts• Sup. & Man. Resp.

collectively review the organizational structure

of the College.

The focus here was :

a) to investigate duplicate and non-essential services b) to integrate results with the work being undertaken

We next identify a base salary value (for each position) that we can then transpose to the new pay schedule in order to identify

We do this by initially identifying the midpoint

step is to migrate all employees into
