BACKGROUND

The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) initiated its comprehensive Classification and Compensation (C&C) Studies in July 2021 for the purpose of updating its job classification specifications (job descriptions) to accurately reflect the work performed and benchmarking against other organizations' job structures and compensation systems. Classification and compensation studies are conducted periodically by OC San to support effective operations and labor relations and obtain information on how other agencies structure their positions and compensate employees in similar positions.

Classification and compensation systems provide necessary tools for organizations to make administrative, fiscal, and human resources decisions. Accurate, current, and legally compliant job descriptions provide fundamental and essential building blocks for successfully administering recruitment, performance management, compensation, training and development, succession planning, and other human resources processes. A competitive and equitable compensation program allows OC San to attract and retain a qualified workforce.

Katie Kaneko, Managing Director with Koff & Associates, will present the findings and final reports of the C&C Studies.
