TOM FLANNERY -HAY &ASSOCIATES -WAGE AND SALARY PROGRAM:
Mr.Tom Flannery of Hay &Associates,an international consulting
group known for wage and compensation systems,presented the
objectives of a good compensation program and stated that the
Town has a sound basis for developing a program.The main
objectives in a wage and salary program are as follows:
1.Internal EQuity -are jobs fairly ranked with others.
2.Competitive Level -how well are you paying compared to
others in the industry.
3.Ease of Administration -is the program easy to
maintain once it is installed.
4.Total Compensation —base salary and benefit package.
Mr.Flannery stated that lie had reviewed the Town’s wage and
salary program and felt that the Longmont study,which is
currently being used,is a good base but suggested that the Town
may wish to audit its present compensation plan.In answer to a
question regarding merit increases,Mr.Flannery stated it was
important to “pay for performance”.An employer should develop a
merit program that makes sense,and then decide what you have in
dollar resources and how much you want to put behind it in any
given year.With regard to lengthy illnesses and disabilities,
he stated the Town could explore a disability insurance program
or fund its own disability program.After a brief discussion,
the Committee recommends Hay &Associates submit a proposal on
scope of services to audit the Town’s current wage and salary
program prior to the budget in August.Mr.F]annery stated that
he could submit a proposal within a week,with the audit of
salary and benefits priced separately.
