Salary Administration

Welcome to the Salary Administration Division of Human Resources. This division is responsible for the design, implementation, revision and general maintenance of the City’s compensation programs, classification system and pay structure as required by Chapter 14.

There are currently 733 job classifications and 37 pay grades. It is the responsibility of the Salary Administration Division to ensure that each classification is assigned the proper pay grade. This is accomplished through market analyses, surveys and through the exchange of information with external organizations. It is also the responsibility of Salary Administration to recognize the need for and to create new classifications in response to a rapidly changing work environment. This is done in partnership with the departments of the City of Houston.

Many departments consult with Salary Administration to determine whether new classifications are needed or if a current classification can be revised to fit the needs of its employees.
