How is compensation determined for a classified position?
Each classification is assigned a paygrade at DHR based on the Hay methodology of point factoring and market factors. The Hay system determines the relative value of each classification using a guide chart profile method and correlated factoring of benchmark job classifications. The Hay system measures such factors such as job know-how, problem solving, accountability, and additional compensable elements such as work environment. Hay points and market factors are converted to ranges associated with each paygrade on the state pay schedule. A copy of the state pay schedule for classified employees, including Hay point ranges for each paygrade is available on-line at: http://www.dhr.idaho.gov/StateEmployees/Compensation/tabid/984/Default.aspx http://www.dhr.idaho.gov/StateEmployees/PaySchedule/tabid/1004/Default.aspx.
