Compensation

The City of Greenville employs more than 850 employees in a multitude of areas and functions. Each job is included in a classification that defines its job description and level in the organization. The system of classifications partners with our compensation structure to determine pay levels and ensure that the employees are working and being paid at the appropriate levels.

Our responsibilities include conducting studies of positions and making recommendations on proper job classification and pay, overseeing the City's Merit Increase Program, and writing and revising job descriptions. The City of Greenville uses both a point factor and market-based approach to pay structure development.

Staff also has responsibility for updating and maintaining the City's pay plan and administrative regulations that relate to classification and compensation. In addition, we conduct and respond to pay and benefit surveys, and provide advice on Human Resource policy and FLSA issues.

Additionally, we provide consultation and advice to departments in a variety of areas, including changes in positions; the application of City policies relating to compensation practices; performance management; salary review and adjustment; and resolution of classification and compensation disputes.
