<p class="MsoNormal">Alabama developed a new IT structure 2 years ago. We hired Kenning Consulting and they did the salary survey for the recommended pay grades and we used those recommendations along with internal alignment to set the ranges. We haven’t
implemented it yet – cross between money and agency directors that were not in favor of their IT Manager making more than their program managers. We are trying to resurrect it starting next year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We use internal alignment, NCASG data, salary.com, pay scale for most of our salary surveys

<p class="MsoNormal">The State of Alaska is conducting a major review and update of its IT job classes and is exploring various resources and tools to use in assessing the pay grades of these classes. I was hoping to reach out to all of you (or someone you
believe would be a more appropriate resource) with a few very quick questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">Does your state primarily use market data, internal alignment, or other methods to determine appropriate pay grades for its IT job classes?
