Compensation Consulting

Discover a more flexible way to align your job classifications with your compensation philosophy and learn if your district is internally equitable and competitive with other organizations in your community. The CESO difference? Customization. Rather than implementing a one-size-fits-all decision band method approach, we design the study to address your specific pain points and goals while taking into account classification systems, contracts, and pay equity laws.

Formally identifying your district's approach to compensation is an important component to ensuring the pay, benefits, rewards, and recognition offered match your goals and values. CESO can help develop a compensation philosophy from scratch, or review your existing philosophy to ensure alignment.

Navigating labor relations is challenging; our team of seasoned negotiators can help. With decades of experience in both traditional and interest-based collective bargaining, we focus on the outcome that’s in everyone’s best interest for less interruptions in your school district. Throughout the negotiations process, we bring a supportive third-party approach to data collection and comparison, prioritization, process guidelines, financial costing models, and documentation of tentative agreements to incorporate into your labor agreements. Whether you’re looking for CESO to be at the table during negotiations or a thought partner in the background, tap into a team who has spent careers successfully doing this high-stakes work.
