Choose Pay Data That Won't Let You Down |
|
Pay surveys are meant to provide reliable benchmarking data so you can accurately and competitively price your jobs against the market. And there are lots of surveys out there to choose from, so you may ask yourself, "How can I tell a good survey from a bad one?" Our answer is - always look for survey data and reports which meet industry "best practices" tests, as follows:
Data
- Data is collected on a number of job incumbents from a sufficient sample size of a random mix of employers in the relevant region. Sample size for each job is important to ensure data validity.
- Data is NOT collected from employees.
- Data is collected using job descriptions (duties, education, experience, etc.) with specific job matching criteria.
- Data is collected for individual jobs in the full range of the job "family" - data is provided for Accountant I, Accountant II, and Accountant III rather than just Accountant.
- Data is screened and "cleaned" through participant contacts to assure accuracy and validity of the results.
- If survey data is aged, it is aged based on pay adjustment trends and not cost of living for the geographic area surveyed.
Reports
- Confidentiality of individual participant data is maintained by reporting aggregate data only.
- All pertinent pay data elements are reported such as wages, salaries, ranges, incentives/bonuses, etc.
- Report summaries are based on actual wages/salaries/incentives paid (range structure data may be reported separately).
- Report includes measures of central tendency and extremes (e.g., averages, medians, percentiles etc.).
- Includes industry types, employer size, geographic, and other data cuts for jobs where pay levels are influenced by these considerations.
SalaryTrends� meets these best practice standards so you can rely on it to make confident pay decisions. See for yourself! |
