I work for a medium size city who paid a boatload of money for a new great payscale study and of course council approved it before the employees got to even look at it.
A RLS is a grade 16 and a PE is a 23. I am about $100 a year over the max for a grade 16 so I will never get another raise. There is a lengthy appeals process so my question is, Anyone know of other city's with published pay grades between LS's and PE's ?
No, but what about longevity and certificate pay? If you city offers that, then back to school amigo!
hmmm, engineers are a dime a dozen and surveyors are in decline... we need more economists to understand the simple principles of supply and demand.

There are more Attorneys than almost anything else yet some them manage to do very well.
I don't know about Cities but the State of California pays Engineers and Land Surveyors identical salaries within their respective classifications.
In other words, Associate level people get the same, Seniors get the same, Supervising gets the same. The Engineers have a management class higher than Supervising that the LSs don't have but the salary differential is due to management responsibility not which profession we are in. I am in a class unique to LSs between Associate and Senior called Party Chief. My salary should be between them but for the past four years I have actually made less than the people I supervise (a long story). A certain steroid addled movie star caused the problem and now a certain 3rd term Governor (with a 30 year hiatus between term 2 and term 3) says it is not politically feasible to fix the problem. He gave the Fire Chiefs a raise but they are Fire Chiefs is the rationale on that (e.g. politically feasible).
