How to set Wage rates?

An accurate job description is a useful tool in analyzing employee compensation in a municipality. Some municipalities have structured pay matrices, while others may have less formal compensation guidelines. It is important to note that wages for positions may vary from municipality to municipality, but any compensation structure should be able to demonstrate equal pay for equal work and fairness in application.
