General Findings: 2017-2018 Salary Survey
Our overall finding is that in 2017 and 2018 the City of Windsor maintained their position above the 50 th percentile. This has resulted in no additional pay increase to maintain the 50 th percentile pay policy for the non-union staff.
A visual view of the median data for each band and the distribution of the external data as it relates to the City of Windsor’s 2018 salary structure is provided on Chart 1, page 8. Overall, the median data is well distributed around the City of Windsor’s salary structure indicating that no changes need to be made to the Windsor salary structure itself or individuals salary grades. The City has maintained their 50 th percentile position within the market. This is not unexpected. Most major market adjustments last approximately 3-5 years depending on the activity of the market. Other municipal organizations work towards maintaining a market position within the 50 th – 65 th percentile range. The process of maintaining salary positioning within the market becomes what can best be described as a game of leapfrog. The frequency of market reviews with other organizations varies from every 2 to 5 years. This means that other organizations “leap” to new market positions at variable times and any market corrections that the City makes has short term benefits.
