Background:
The last compensation study was
C O M P E N S AT I O N conducted in 2018. The study was

making implementation difficult and
costly. The organization now aims to
TRUECOMP adopt a more proactive approach by
aligning compensation levels to the
median or up to the 75 th percentile.

The organization faces challenges in retaining in
executives, mid-level staff and some entry level staff
for critical roles. Competitive compensation
packages are essential to attract and retain talent in Key
key areas.
Considerations
§ Tools and Data Management:
Incode software is used for financial data
management to support strategic planning and
budgeting.

§ Pay Plan and Financial Strategy:
A review of the current pay plan is required, with an
emphasis on avoiding a comprehensive
compensation study or major updates. The targeted
range for compensation is to remain between the
median and the 75th percentile.
By leveraging the tools and resources
available at GOVInvest/True Comp, the
organization aims to enhance its financial
forecasting capabilities, optimize pay plans,
and develop strategies that ensure
FUTURE competitive compensation. This approach
S TAT E will provide data-driven insights to better
understand the costs associated with
staffing decisions and align budget
allocations with long-term strategic goals.

adequate. Empowering Our
