HR Analyst - Classification & Compensation

Overview

Do you possess that special blend of the skills as an analytical problem solver who likes working with people as well as numbers and solving complex puzzles. If so, we invite you to join our team!

 

The Department of Human Resources (DHR) is seeking a Human Resources Analyst to serve in a unique role as a subject matter expert in the field of job evaluation, classification and compensation. In this role, you will provide expert consultation on job classification across all levels of the Executive Branch. 

 

Who are we looking for? Ideally someone who has direct experience in job evaluation, compensation or other HR analytical roles, but you could also be an HR generalist who wants to become a subject matter expert.

 

Yes, there's plenty of administrative work but also room to use your skills, curiosity, and creativity to seek new ways to solve complex problems. DHR is poised to enter an exciting multiyear project to modernize its classification and compensation system and in this position, you'll be able to play a critical and exciting role in that effort.

 

You will:

• Evaluate positions to ensure fair and consistent placement within the state's pay structure;
• analyze positions to determine their Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) status, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO-4) designation, and managerial status;
• lead statewide studies to create or refine job classes;
• develop and analyze data that informs the classification system;
• consult with agencies on complex classification matters;
• support one or more classification committees, serving as a key advisor and quality control expert; 
• when needed, you will participate in the grievance process, defending classification decisions at all levels;
• and much more.

We are committed to supporting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. Everyone is welcome and supported here.

We support a hybrid work environment. We will work with you to create a schedule that aligns business needs and collaboration, promotes autonomy, and allows for increased flexibility and greater work/life balance. Starting rate may be negotiable based on experience and qualifications.
