Compensation Services

If a school district has a need, chances are that PSBA has a service, expert or program to meet that need.

Compensation Studies

This service provides the district with a complete analysis of the internal equity and external competitiveness of the school districts current administrative or support staff compensation practices.  This service includes the development and analysis of job descriptions, an analysis of the current compensation structure and an analysis of the competitive external market.  An objective report including the findings of the study and recommendations will be provided.

Compensation Updates

These services revise and adjust existing studies previously performed by PSBA.  The district will receive accurate financial information, which will be compared to current district pay rates to determine whether the district remains competitive within its market.  Charts are included to track career progression through pay ranges.  Also, updates allow for districts to insert additional positions and/or change current positions in the study as long as PSBA and qualified district personnel have appropriately evaluated the positions. 

Compensation Review and Market Assessment

PSBA will utilize the district’s existing compensation structure and infuse that structure with current financial data in order to ensure district personnel are paid equitably and competitively.  We will provide a thorough review of the study to determine competitiveness and equity within the educational market.  We will also review salary ranges to ensure internal and external equity. 

Job Descriptions

PSBA will update a district’s job descriptions to ensure the accuracy of primary duties and responsibilities of each position, and to embed each job description with appropriate ADA specifications.  PSBA utilizes a job description format that allows for the continued enhancement of knowledge, skills and abilities while maintaining the integrity of the position description itself. 

Internal Equity Analysis

PSBA will provide an internal equity analysis to ensure that positions continue to be placed in appropriate job families and that pay ranges equitably reflect the responsibility of a position.  PSBA consultants will analyze the new position job descriptions, positions that have progressed over time, or the restructuring of positions to ensure the appropriate family placement.
