Classification Notice No. 1665

 

To:                                          Agency Heads and Employees

From:                                          Karen Niparko, Executive Director of the Office of Human Resources

Date:                                          December 04, 2020

Subject:                     Proposed Changes to the Classification and Pay Plan

 

The proposed change amends the Classification and Pay Plan by changing the pay grades and ranges of the Internal Auditor classifications.

 

The Office of Human Resources Classification and Compensation Division has been working with the Auditor’s Office on a review of Internal Auditor classification pay grades.  The Auditor’s Office conducts Performance, Information Technology, and Financial Audits across the City and County of Denver departments and agencies.  The Auditor’s Office believes that the level of work performed by the Internal Auditors in the Auditor’s Office is more complex than the work performed by other Internal Auditors located in various other city agencies and there should be different pay grades between for these classifications.  A custom national survey was sent to and compensation data was collected from eleven U.S. cities and counties which were provided by the Auditor’s Office since these government organizations conduct Performance Audits.  The AO also provide the names of eight national auditing firms that also conducts performance audits and compensation data was obtained.  An analysis of this collected data revealed that the Internal Auditor’s current pay grades do not need any adjustments.  However, when the salary survey benchmark data that is purchased by OHR is incorporated, then the Internal Auditor Senior, Lead, and Supervisor pay grades are lagging the market.
