The Classification and Compensation Unit was established, within the Human Resources Department, in 1998 by the Board of Supervisors to establish a systematic method for maintaining the County's classification plan and salary system.

To carry out this objective, the Classification and Compensation Team was tasked with performing the following duties: 

• Conduct a five-year cyclical review of all County positions
• Review, update or create job specifications
• Provide technical assistance to County departments regarding classification and compensation matters
• Review and approve/deny all classification recommendations resulting from Exception Studies. The Classification and Compensation Team will conduct Exception Studies as needed or directed
• Administered the IT Pay System.  Recently our IT Pay system was reviewed and subsequently revised.  The conversion of the IT Skill Pay program to the current IT Classification system was completed and implemented for all IT employees on August 2, 2007 

The Class and Salary Listing, which may be viewed or downloaded from the right side of this page, lists, alphabetically, all the position classifications by title and contains standard salary ranges on all County job classifications.
