Classification & Compensation
The City of Albuquerque is proudly committed to a compensation philosophy that serves to recruit and retain exceptional talent. In addition to our premier benefits, the City focuses on developing a competitive compensation system that reflects the talents, skills, and efforts of employees while fulfilling our commitment to public service. This philosophy guides us in recognizing these factors and helps drive outcomes to meet the specific needs and unique opportunities of the City of Albuquerque.
To support this philosophy, the City will:
- Provide a total compensation system that makes the City competitive in the local public-sector market;
- Administer and maintain consistent and equitable hiring and promotional opportunities that support the compensation and classification system; and
- Administer and communicate the compensation plan and classification structure with consistency, and in a manner that is transparent to employees and the public.
Welcome
