decision making, independence of action, working relationships, and guidelin s, are used to relate jobs by level. (4) Collect omparative salary data From other selected jurisdictions, bus- iness, o industry having closely similar jobs. For the benefit of the governin body who will be making the final decision on level of pay; we normally try to "bracket" the labor market by surveying: (l) dir ct competitors (2) oth r jurisdictions in the same geographical region (3) jurisdictions of similar tax base and population (4) jur sdi.ctions of greater tax base and population which have strong in- flu nce on competitive rates within the region. (5) Salary ata is then considered in ,relation to the significant position relatio ships determined in (3) above. While it is important to have com-- petitiv rates, these must not dominate internal position relationships. Salary Eta is also considered with respect to the relative financial abil- ity of the jurisdiction for which the study is being done, the stated or historical fiscal policy of the governing body as to competitive philosophy, the str ngest regional competitive influences, the general fringe benefits package accompanying base salary, the mobility of the workforce, turnover history and similar factors. (6) Based u�on the composite analytical resolution of concerns in (5) , an updates classification and salary range is recommended for each posa.tion' included. The procedure for tudying new positions, established since a plan was last reviewed would be essentially the same, except for the absence of a previous :record of job level for comparison. The recommendations made would be for the purpose of initially bring- ing such positions into the plan. Please advise if wE can provide additional information or be of assistance in any way.
