3-FY2026 Grade and Step Table (Attachment E).xlsx

This is a FY2026 Grade and Step Table (Attachment E) for the City of Goodyear, Arizona, supporting the RFP for Classification and Compensation Consultant Services. The document establishes the salary structure for municipal positions across multiple classification categories, including non-exempt general staff (grades 800-811), exempt professional positions (grades 603-616), fire department roles (both exempt and non-exempt, grades 761-796), and police department positions (both exempt and non-exempt, grades 751-756). Each grade contains minimum, midpoint, and maximum salary ranges to guide compensation decisions. The table serves as a reference document for the consultant's review and development of the City's job classification structure and total compensation analysis, as requested in the broader RFP.

The salary ranges reflect significant variation based on position type and seniority level. Non-exempt general staff grades range from $41,123.88 (grade 800) to $78,750.02 (grade 811) at minimum, while exempt professional positions range from $69,144.85 (grade 603) to $184,088.97 (grade 616) at minimum. Fire and police positions include both annual salaries for exempt management roles and hourly rates for non-exempt staff, with fire exempt positions fixed at $143,416.00 and police positions ranging from $37.09 to $59.22 per hour for non-exempt roles. This comprehensive compensation structure demonstrates the City's need for an updated classification and compensation analysis to ensure market competitiveness and internal equity across its organizational structure.
