IN FY 2019-2020, RCMA CONTRACTED WITH WIPFLI TO PERFORM A WAGE COMPARABILITY STUDY AND AVERAGE RATES OF PAY FOR A NUMBER OF BENCHMARK POSITIONS, INCLUDING CENTER LEVEL STAFF. THESE WERE REVIEWED TO DETERMINE IF THEY WERE REASONABLE AND CONSISTENT WITH THOSE IN THE FLORIDA NOT-FOR-PROFIT LABOR MARKET. DATA FROM A VARIETY OF COMPENSATION SURVEYS WAS REVIEWED AND ALSO UTILIZED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING NEEDED ADJUSTMENTS. MOST EMPLOYEES WERE FOUND TO BE PAID WITHIN THE ESTABLISHED RCMA PAY RANGES. FOR THOSE FOUND TO BE PAID BELOW THE MINIMUM PAY RANGE FOR THEIR POSITION, THE RECOMMENDATION WAS FOR RCMA TO CONSIDER MAKING MARKET ADJUSTMENTS TO BETTER ALIGN THEIR COMPENSATION WITHIN THEIR DESIGNATED PAY GRADE. MANAGEMENT REVIEWED THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WAGE STUDY TO ENSURE THAT EMPLOYEES RECEIVE COMPARABLE WAGES FOR WORK PERFORMED. AS PART OF THEIR THREE YEAR STRATEGIC PLANNING, THE RCMA BOARD OF DIRECTORS ALSO IDENTIFIED THE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR ABILITY TO RETAIN TEACHERS AND FAMILY SUPPORT WORKERS IN JULY 2019.
