Solicitation: 202604070 Compensation Classification and Compensation Study

The State of Maine Judicial Branch is seeking a consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive compensation classification and compensation study covering roughly 565 employees across 121 active job classifications. The study must analyze current classifications, benchmark compensation against market data, evaluate job‑evaluation systems, and propose a streamlined, equitable pay structure, including cost‑benefit estimates and implementation guidance. Deliverables include detailed written reports (electronic and printed), data models, and multiple stakeholder presentations. • Review and re‑classify existing job families, stand‑alone classifications, and cross‑walk with new structures. • Perform market compensation analysis (excluding fringe benefits) using regional and national benchmarks. • Assess recruitment/retention impacts, develop career ladders, and provide cost‑savings estimates. • Produce iterative drafts (January–March 2027) and a final report with accompanying PowerPoint and printed copies. • Conduct presentations to the Executive Team and maintain regular status meetings with HR throughout the 18‑month project.
