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

[Malatesta - DPA, Brandy]

Hey Patrick!


The State of Colorado completed a comprehensive IT study that was to take
us from 4 classifications for 600 employees to around 100 classifications.
 Unfortunately due to budget circumstances we will not be able to implement
that study as planned effective July 1, 2021.


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


We use a combination of both internal and external and slot where necessary.



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?  For the IT
study we used the following survey sources:


   - Mercer Information Technology
   - WTW General Industry Information Technology
   - Mercer Benchmark Information Technology
   - Economic Research Institute
   - WTW General Industry Supervisory & Middle Management
   - Employer's Council Information Technology (Wyoming, Utah, Arizona and
   Colorado)
   - CompData Benchmark Pro-West

b.       ERI Salary Assessor?  We have this and I do not find a need to
access it on a regular basis.  It is also expensive to not use it
consistently.

c.       Any of the annual Milliman surveys? No

d.       Any other surveys and/or compensation software (e.g., Culpepper,
Salary.com, PayScale)? No



3.       Based on your experiences over the past 5 years or so, are there
any other compensation resources you would like to recommend? No
