Classification and Compensation Study
Georgia Southern University has contracted with a consulting firm, MGT of America, headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, to assist GSU in conducting a classification and compensation study on non-faculty benefited positions. MGT has conducted numerous studies at both the University System of Georgia level and for individual colleges and universities. As such, we are confident that they will bring to this effort a true appreciation for the work you do at our university.The overall objective of this study is to develop a compensation strategy for full-time non-faculty benefited positions at GSU utilizing the current University System of Georgia BCAT Classification system. The goal is to accomplish this objective by spring of 2008. Therefore, during the upcoming months, MGT will work with GSU to create up-to-date job descriptions, collect information to support classification and market comparisons of these jobs, to create a salary structure to reflect appropriate market comparisons, and make recommentations concerning the StaffCompensation Plan.
If your position is included in the study, your input will be an important part of the data collection efforts. In the upcoming months, you will be given an opportunity to provide detailed information about your job. MGT will provide you with a detailed questionnaire to complete, and GSU will provide assistance to you in completing this task. During that time, MGT will also be comparing the Georgia Southern Staff Compensation Plan to other compensation plans within relevant geographical markets.
The Department of Human Resources hopes you are as excited about this opportunity as we are. We appreciate your cooperation in providing whatever information is requested at the appropriate time. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact Jack Heidler, HR Director, at 478-5171 or Melanee Morales, Associate Director, at 478-5374.
