Data-driven confidence for municipal negotiations & compensation strategy
Thousands of verified data points on salaries, benefits, and working conditions—for union and non-union personnel—giving municipal leaders the transparency they need to negotiate strategically, update annual compensation plans, and budget with confidence.
Municipal negotiations and compensation strategy require defensible data - every single year
Municipalities navigate complex compensation structures on staggered cycles—negotiating with multiple unions while simultaneously trying to keep non-union pay scales competitive. The pressure from taxpayers, governing bodies, unions, and staff demands defensible, data-backed positions with real-time visibility into the actions of neighboring communities.
Fragmented Data
Salary surveys are outdated by the time they’re compiled. Benefits comparisons require hours of manual research across municipalities to stay current.
High-Stakes Unions
Police, fire, and DPW negotiations are politically sensitive and operationally critical. Every percentage point carries real budget and community consequences.
Fiscal Accountability
Select boards and city councils demand defensible rationale. “We think this is fair” doesn’t hold up at a public meeting.
Recruitment & Retention Risks
In a tight labor market, municipalities compete with neighboring towns for talent. Without market-competitive pay scales, towns risk losing high performers and failing to attract qualified new hires.
