Meet and Confer Meetings - FY 2017-18 Annual Compensation Survey Process and Methodology
Each year, the Department of Personnel & Administration’s Division of Human Resources (DHR) conducts a survey to measure and compare the total compensation package offered to the State’s classified employees. This survey is conducted to ensure the total compensation package is competitive when compared to private industry and other government entities. Findings from the annual survey are used to develop recommendations for salary adjustments; medical, dental and basic life insurance plan premium contributions; and leave benefits. The survey results are submitted to the Governor on August 1st to assist in developing his proposed budget.
DHR will conduct the following informational (“meet and confer”) sessions to explain the survey process and methodology used in collecting information, to answer questions, and to seek employee feedback on the process. All meet and confer meetings are for informational purposes only and attendance is not required.
