Job Specifications & Pay Ranges

A job specification is a written statement that sets forth the duties and responsibilities that distinguish a given classification from another. Search for a job specification and view the pay ranges.

Pay Ranges and Job Titles

All non-elected, non-appointed and non-collectively bargained classifications are assigned pay grades. Pay grades are identifying numbers for pay ranges within a pay schedule. A pay range represents the prevailing market range of pay in a grade, beginning at the entry rate and going to a maximum rate.

Performance-Based Merit Increases

Our employees receive annual performance evaluations. If budget allows, our employees receive an annual merit increase, based on their performance.
