JUDICIAL COMPENSATION STUDY

The Legislative Research Commission (LRC) is seeking a vendor to conduct a comprehensive salary and compensation study for the Judicial Branch of Government in Kentucky. The study must review current classifications, compensation levels, and market competitiveness for all positions within the Judicial Branch. The selected vendor will be required to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the salaries and compensation of Judicial Branch personnel, including recommendations for potential adjustments to ensure equitable and competitive compensation practices. The study will include five objectives: developing a stated compensation philosophy, reviewing existing compensation for internal equity, conducting a market analysis, providing guidance for compensation administration, and providing an overall cost analysis of recommended compensation changes. • The vendor will work with the LRC team and representatives from the Judicial Branch of Government to develop a compensation philosophy. • The vendor will review the pay of each position and review the job descriptions to see if they accurately reflect the work each position is expected to perform. • The vendor will provide recommendations that properly place positions within the compensation plan, based on the positions' job duties, skills, knowledge, and abilities. • The vendor will review the Judicial Branch of Government’s current overall compensation practices and make recommendations for improvement.
