Our Classification and Compensation System

Classification and compensation work together to create a system that provides consistent, fair, and equitable compensation for employees. The State of Mississippi’s classification and compensation system policies are outlined in the Variable Compensation Plan.

Agencies under MSPB purview are assigned analysts who work with agencies to ensure they are in compliance with the Variable Compensation Plan.
