[NCASG] IT Salary Data: Some Very Quick Questions for NCASG Members

[Meghan Connor]

Pat,


Please see Wyoming's response below:


1.       Does your state primarily use market data, internal alignment, or
other methods to determine appropriate pay grades for its IT job classes?

Both, we use market data to assess our pay grades and internal alignment
via Hay to make sure they are in the correct grades.



2.       Over the past 5 years or so, has your state used any of the
following in determining pay grades for IT job classes (and, please let us
know how valuable you found it as a resource):

a.       Annual Mercer/Gartner Information Technology Survey? No.

b.       ERI Salary Assessor? Yes, it is incredibly helpful in narrowing
down comparison states and markets while accounting for budget or years of
experience. My only complaint would be how vague the job descriptions are,
usually 2-3 bullet points.

c.       Any of the annual Milliman surveys? No.

d.       Any other surveys and/or compensation software (e.g., Culpepper,
Salary.com, PayScale)? We just got PayScale and are in the process of
getting it up and running. So far I have been impressed with the ease of
reporting and visualizations. I am happy to share more as we learn more.



3.       Based on your experiences over the past 5 years or so, are there
any other compensation resources you would like to recommend? I am only in
my first year in this position, and actually came from HR at our state IT
department. I think PayScale is going to be great for simplifying
presentations to our Legislators, assessing some equity issues, and
modeling our salary structure.


Please let me know if you have any questions.
