Several years of no general funding for across the board raises, coupled with increased turnover, has caused concerns to Executive and Legislative branch leadership, as well as the Employee Association, regarding compensation. This has led to an increase in the number of unclassified jobs and also requests for additional funds for various classifications during the budget process.
Is the squeaky wheel getting the oil?
Data identified as National Compensation Association of State Governments (NCASG) represents data from selected comparator States:
For Salary and Benefits: AR, CO, KS, MO, LA, NM For Salary only: TX For Benefits only: NE and TN
As stated by the survey consultants, the current benefits plan is a good plan for the 1980s but will it attract and retain the workforce of tomorrow? The chart on the following page shows that nearly 60% of employees in the Executive Branch have a base salary in the range of $25,000-$45,000.

Any changes to benefits plans should take into consideration three key groups:
todays workforce current retirees future retirees
Taking into consideration all these factors, set out on the following pages is a table showing recommendations for your consideration. This plan is a multi-year plan as we recognize that the current state was not achieved overnight and a planned, multi-year change is more likely to be accepted than attempting to make all changes at one time. The primary driver of these recommendations is to start on the path to changing the mix between salary and benefits.

Executive summary results
141 of the total benchmarks had sufficient market data for publication, covering 10,082 employees
Survey data will be shown based on two sources of market data collected and developed for the study:
Hay Group: this market represents an average of several markets for pay specific to Oklahoma
Hay Group - data for employees and companies in Oklahoma (salary and benefits)
Oklahoma Hospital Association (OHA) healthcare specific jobs Quorum Survey - locally conducted survey for the State Bureau of Labor Statistics - (BLS) salary information for jobs in Oklahoma AR, CO, KS, LA, MO, NM (salary & benefits), TX (salary), NE and TN (benefits)

This percentile reflects where 25% of the market pays above this point and 75% pays below This represents the middle of the market where 50% of the market pays above this point and 50% pays below
This percentile reflects where 75% of the market pays above this point and 25% pays below
On average, the states market position for base salaries is 21.7% below the Hay Group/Special Survey market Median while midpoints are 18.2% below the Median Compared to peer NCASG states, the market position improves to 6.4% below the market median for base salaries and 2.1% above the median for midpoints

The States current overall competitive market position is at or above the 75th percentile of both the Hay Group and States markets, driven by Oklahomas strong retirement benefit and high employer subsidy of the States basic plan benefits
When the benefits program is considered on its own, independent of salary, Oklahomas benefits are 29% above the Hay Group median and 32% above the NCASG median

+2.7% The majority of the States occupational groups fall well below the Median of the market compared to the Hay Group survey but closer to NCASG peer group market When the impact of salary is considered on benefits, the competitiveness of the States benefits program decreases slightly; however, Retirement and Health Care programs influence the overall market position, driven by high level of subsidy provided by the State for these benefits The competitive benefits program enhances the total remuneration market position

Market competitiveness Benefits
In order for compensation decisions to be taken based on the competitiveness of total compensation, Hay Group conducted additional analysis of the competitiveness of the benefits program offered by the State of Oklahoma This analysis is based on the benefits program information provided by Oklahoma for its current 2013 benefits program Hay Group used two comparator markets for the benefits analysis
Hay Group Market Oklahoma organizations contained in our 2013 benefits database and gathered through the custom survey conducted in August of 2013 NCASG States Market Select States from the NCASG survey, including Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Tennessee
The following pages summarize the States competitive position relative to both markets. Please refer to the appendix for a listing of the market comparator groups and a description of the benefits valuation methodology It is important to note that this analysis compares the value of benefits for someone hired today by the State to a new hire in the market. This ensures an apples to apples comparison, that does not consider the impact of grandfathered or frozen benefits
54
The State provides a full range of benefit programs to its employees that is above market in aggregate Health care and retirement, the two primary drivers of overall market competitiveness, are at or above the market 75th percentile relative to both the Hay Group and NCASG States markets Disability is also competitive relative to both comparator groups; however, this benefit comprise a smaller portion of the total benefit package Death benefits are below market, as the States flat dollar death benefit does not provide adequate security in the event of death; however, this benefit does not carry significant weight in total benefits Other benefits are also below market, as there is a lack of any consistent employer paid benefits in the area of tuition reimbursement, dependent care or commuter subsidies The differences between P25, P50 and P75 in the States market are not as big as we typically see in private sector markets: Specifically, the cash equivalent difference between the market P25 and P75 ranges from 10% at the lowest salary levels to 25% at higher salary levels while the average difference in the OK market is 30%

Key Findings
Market position of health care and retirement weigh heavily in overall benefit program competitiveness
Oklahomas retirement benefit is above market (>P75), as only 27% of the OK market provides a defined benefit plan. Defined contribution plans are more prevalent in the market and provide median employer contributions of 5% of pay
The States current benefit allowance covers nearly 100% of employee only and family coverage premiums, which is well above OK market practice of covering 75% to 80% of premiums. Plan design features of the HealthChoice High plan are also competitive relative to the OK market The State provides sick leave, as well as short term and long term disability benefits. In addition, OPERS provides a disability retirement benefit. Although LTD is offset by the OPERS benefit, the combination of programs exceeds prevalent market practice The States flat dollar benefit of $20,000 is below the market P25, as OK organizations typically provide a benefit based on salary, with a benefit maximum that caps only those at higher salary levels Limited offering of flexible spending accounts and no consistent employer paid benefits is below the OK market The vacation schedule is aligned with typical OK market practice

Key Findings
Market position of health care and retirement weigh heavily in overall benefit program competitiveness Low relative employee contributions to the retirement system combined with a higher pension benefit multiplier (2% vs. 1.7% in the market) puts the State above prevalent market practice among comparator States, where nearly 90% of the market continues to provide some type of DB plan Market position relative to other States is driven by the current high level of subsidy employees receive toward health care premiums for both single and family coverage. The current Benefit Allowance provides nearly 100% subsidy of the core benefits The State provides sick leave, short term disability, long term disability, and disability retirement benefits, which together generates an above market program relative to other States. Sick leave is prevalent in the States; however, employer paid STD and LTD are not The States flat dollar benefit of $20,000 is P25. Flat dollar benefits are prevalent; however, higher limits and salary based benefits are increasing in prevalence, with a median benefit which provides up to $50,000 in coverage Limited offerings by Oklahoma is below the market median The vacation schedule (annual leave) is slightly above typical State practice, with maximum annual accruals of 21 to 24 days compared with Oklahomas 25 days

Oklahomas retirement benefit (OPERS) provides the following defined benefit retirement:
2.0% final average compensation (highest 3 years of last 10 years) Eight years of credited service required to vest Full retirement at age 65 with 6 years of service or 90 Points Early retirement at age 60 with 10 years of service, with a 6.67% annual reduction Employees contribute 3.5% and Oklahoma contributes 16.5%
OPERS also has provisions for disability retirement and a step up option, which allows employees to contribute an additional 2.91% of pay to receive a 2.5% instead of 2.0% benefit
Oklahoma also maintains a voluntary 457(b) program (SoonerSave) and a 401(a) plan (Savings Incentive Plan). If an employee contributes at least $25 per month, the State provides a $25 monthly matching contribution
63
OK organizations typically provide a defined contribution plan with employer contribution only (73%), with only 27% providing a defined benefit plan
Median contributions toward defined contribution retirement programs, in total, are 4.85% of pay in the OK market Employer contributions are typically in the form of a 401(k) match, with profit sharing and fixed employer contributions less prevalent
Defined benefit programs have a higher value, as employees are not subject to investment risk, as they are under defined contribution programs
When compared to the OK market, the States total retirement program is above the market 75th percentile
The States defined benefit plan is also above the market P75 when compared to the 27% of the market that provides a defined benefit program
64
In the States market, defined benefit plans continue to be the prevalent retirement vehicle for employees, with 6 of 7 States (or 86%) providing a DB program Employee contributions toward the pension benefit of 3.5% of pay are lower than the typical level in the market, with a median employee contribution of 6% Several features of Oklahomas retirement program contribute to its high relative market position to other States:
Oklahomas retirement program is at the market P75 when compared to the States market
65
Oklahoma provides a monthly benefit allowance to employees depending on their coverage tier:
Coverage Tier OK Benefit Allowance
Employee
Employee plus 1 child Employee plus children Employee plus spouse Employee, Spouse, plus 1 child
$640.98
$870.89 $1,006.19 $1,312.75 $1,542.66
$1,677.96
Employees use the monthly benefit allowance to purchase basic plan benefits, which includes medical, dental, disability and death benefits. For purposes of this analysis, vision was also included in the core benefits, although it is an optional benefit
For purposes of market analysis, the employee and family tiers are valued
Hay Group valued the most prevalent plan options HealthChoice High medical, HealthChoice Dental, VSP vision, Basic Life only, and Disability
66
The primary driver of benefits value in Hay Groups methodology is the level of employer subsidy for the particular benefit
Oklahomas monthly benefit allowance provides 100% subsidy for employee only coverage and 97% subsidy for family coverage in the most prevalent 2013 basic plan benefits
Based on 2014 rates, which increased less than 5% over 2013, the benefit allowance will continue to provide 100% subsidy for employee only coverage and nearly 100% subsidy for family coverage in basic plan benefits
As rates continue to increase due to escalating health care costs and other factors, the value of Oklahomas benefits program will decrease, as the monthly benefit allowance (if not increased) will not fully subsidize the premiums for basic plan benefits The analysis of health care (medical, dental and vision), disability and death benefits that follows is based on 100% employer paid coverage for basic plan benefits

The States most prevalent plans are the HealthChoice High medical plan, the HealthChoice Dental plan and the Vision Service Plan vision plan
Oklahoma offers multiple medical, dental and vision plans to its employees, but for purposes of this market analysis only the most prevalent plans were valued
As stated previously, the States monthly benefit allowance provides for 100% employer paid employee only and family coverage for medical, dental and vision coverage. This factors greatly into the States overall health care plan value. The table below outlines the median employer contribution for medical, dental and vision coverage in each of the comparator markets:

Oklahomas dental plan design is above typical market practice when compared to both markets. The State maintains a $25 deductible, 100% coverage for preventive care, 85% coverage of basic services and 60% coverage of major services. The annual nonorthodontia maximum is $2,500 and the lifetime orthodontia maximum is $2,500
The market median deductible is $50 Coinsurance schedule is 100% for preventive, 80% for basic and 50% for major services Annual and lifetime orthodontia maximums are $1,500 each
71
Oklahoma provides retiree medical coverage to retirees on a cost shared basis retirees pay 75% of the cost on a retiree pay all basis for dependents. Due to the States low cost sharing, retiree health care does not provide significant value in the overall health care value In the States market, 50% do not provide any retiree health coverage, 25% provide pre65 coverage only, 13% provide post-65 coverage only, and 13% provide both
67% of those that provide coverage share the cost, while 33% provide retiree paid coverage only
In the OK market, 60% do not provide any retiree health coverage, about 25% covering all retirees and the remaining 15% covering either pre-65 or post-65 retirees only
Of the 40% of organizations that provide retiree coverage, half share the cost with retirees and half provide retiree pay all coverage for pre-65 coverage, while 60% share the cost and 40% provide retiree pay all coverage for post-65 coverage The median cost sharing in the OK market is 35% retiree / 65% employer
The State of Oklahomas health care program exceeds the market P75 of the OK market and the States market due primarily to the 100% employer paid premium contributions for medical, dental and vision coverage

The States disability program is comprised of a salary continuation plan or sick leave, employer paid short term and long disability, and a disability retirement provision through OPERS Salary continuation provides benefits at full pay based on accumulation of days (15 days per year) with no maximum accumulation. Sick leave is utilized more compared to the other disability benefits, so it carries more weight in the overall program value
The OK market is split between those that provide salary continuance plan only and those that provide both a salary continuance plan and an employer paid STD plan The States market typically provides salary continuance plan only, with STD coverage typically provided on an employee paid basis
Oklahoma places no limit on the number of sick days an employee can accumulate, which is in line with the prevalent States market practice
Oklahomas short term disability (STD) benefit has a 30 day waiting period and pays a 60% benefit up to a $2,500 monthly maximum for 150 days. The waiting period is longer than prevalent OK market practice, but better aligned with States, as sick leave is more prevalent in the States market
75
Oklahoma also provides a long term disability (LTD) benefit as part of the basic plan benefit:
LTD is fully employer paid LTD benefit of 60% of pay, with a $3,000 monthly maximum LTD benefit is offset by the OPERS disability retirement benefit
Most of the OK market provides employer paid (75%) LTD coverage, while 57% of the States market does so The LTD benefit provided in both markets is typically 60% of pay, so Oklahoma is aligned with typical market practice; however, the $3,000 maximum caps the benefit for those earning more than $60,000 per year
The elimination period is typically 26 weeks in both markets, which is aligned with Oklahoma
Oklahomas overall disability program is at or above the market P75 relative to both the OK and the States markets due primarily to the higher sick leave accrual with no maximum that provides 100% income replacement in the event of disability. In addition, the employer paid short and long term disability benefit and disability retirement provide adequate income replacement for most State employees

Oklahoma provides basic life insurance in the amount of $20,000. Employees may purchase an additional $20,000 in coverage under the supplemental plan for $4 per month; however, for purposes of the analysis, only the $20,000 basic coverage was valued 10% of the OK market provides a flat dollar benefit, with a median benefit of $50,000 63% of the States market provides a flat dollar benefit, with a median benefit of $20,000 Most of the OK market (90%) provides a benefit based on a uniform earnings multiple, with 1.5 times base salary the median benefit amount. The remaining 36% of the States market provides a salary based benefit of 1 times salary; however, the benefit is typically capped The State augments the basic benefit by offering employee paid supplemental group life and AD&D plans that provide up to $500,000 in additional coverage. This type of benefit is typical in the private sector, provided by nearly 100% of the OK and States markets The State also provides employee-paid dependent group life with three coverage options, ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 for each child and $6,000 to $20,000 for a spouse. While the $10,000 per child coverage is aligned with both markets, the $20,000 spouse coverage is below median of both markets, which is $50,000 The competitiveness of Oklahomas death benefit is at or below the 25th percentile of both markets due to the low flat dollar benefit
79
The State provides health care and dependent care spending accounts to its employees. Limited tuition reimbursement creates minimal value for the State in this category
Due to the low level of employer paid benefits in this category, the State is below the 25th percentile of the market in comparison to the OK market, where offerings include telecommuting and transportation assistance and higher education reimbursement levels Because other States do not typically provide benefits in this category, Oklahoma compares slightly more favorably to the States market, coming in at the 25th percentile of the States market
80
Oklahomas service based annual leave compares favorably to both markets. The table below outlines the annual accrual provided to employees at various years of service:

The charts on the following pages illustrate the total compensation picture for State of Oklahoma employees relative to the OK market as well as the NCASG market
Only those components of pay provided by the State are included in total compensation. It is common in the private sector to pay annual incentives, which if included would make the State less competitive relative to the Hay Group Market
Also included are pay mix charts that show the differences between the States compensation elements and the two markets
Pay mix for State employees does vary against the market depending on salary
The benefits total does not include holiday and vacation in either the market or Oklahoma under our methodology, so as to not double count the benefit when analyzing total remuneration

Hay Benefit Valuation Comparison (BVC) methodology
Hay Group utilizes a proprietary actuarial valuation methodology to evaluate benefit plans in terms of the cash equivalence of the benefits In establishing a programs overall market competitiveness the Hay Benefit Valuation model uses standard cost assumptions, instead of a companys specific costs, which eliminates the impact of such cost variables as demographics, geography, funding method, or purchasing power, etc.
The utilization of standard or common cost assumptions provides a uniform quantitative evaluation method which produces values based solely on the level of the benefit provided
The valuation model places a relative value on each specific feature of a benefit program. The value for each plan is then compiled to produce an overall program value appropriate for market comparison. In general, the more generous a particular feature is the higher the relative value

Healthcare Insurance (medical, dental, RX, vision, physical exams) Retirement Plans (defined benefit and defined contribution plans) Death Benefits (employer paid and voluntary life insurance plans) Disability and Sick Leave (sick leave, short-term, long-term disability plans) Other benefits such as Tuition Reimbursement, Flex Plans, Statutory Benefits, etc.
Benefit values are calculated on an Employer-paid basis. Employerpaid benefit values are discounted to reflect the relationship of any required employee contributions to the programs total value. For fully employee-paid plans, the discount is 95% (some value remains due to such things as group purchasing power, etc.). For fully employer-paid plans, there is no discount, and for cost shared plans, a pro-ration is applied

Internal equity is the inter-relationship between reward opportunities within an organization. Many benefit plans (death benefits, disability, retirement, etc.) have features or benefit levels that are related to salary. Internal equity is achieved in a benefit program when the relationships between the benefit level and the employee salary are consistent within each employee population (Note: While benefit program differences can often be found between employee classes, most organizations provide consistent policies within a class) Organizations that wish to achieve internal equity within a benefit plan typically establish benefit levels that are based on uniform salary multiples (i.e., death benefits of one times salary or disability income replacement level of 60% of salary) In order to observe the internal equity of an employee benefits program, benefit values are typically illustrated at several salary levels. For this review of benefits, values are shown for salaries from $20,000 to $100,000
