The City of Forest Lake, Minnesota, is seeking proposals from qualified consulting firms to conduct a comprehensive classification and compensation study for its employees. The goal of this study is to ensure that the City’s compensation structure is competitive, equitable, aligned with market conditions and industry standards, and to ensure state and federal compliance. Time is of the essence for this project, and preference will be given to firms that can provide timely results without compromising quality.

This study is expected to review the City of Forest Lake’s classification and compensation plan to ensure an equitable system is in place to compensate employees properly for the services being provided compared to the market and to create consistent titling and recognizable differences between position classifications. 

The classification system recommended through this study must be a market proven and established methodology for government application. It should be designed such that it facilitates a number of human resource management goals including recruitment, selection, and salary administration in an organized and consistent manner.
