Analyzing Salary Surveys
Course Number: 73

Job and Compensation Analyst (JCA) Notes:

Having the ability to discern the difference between different types of compensation, salary, cost-of-living, and other survey sources is a skill often overlooked by business professionals. The Internet has brought a flood of information to the PC screens of both employers and employees alike and, as a result, many are using statistically unreliable data. Determining how much one should pay an employee in terms of base salary is a decision with far-reaching total compensation and benefit impact since these expenditures are often the greatest single expense category for an organization. Base salary strategy (paying more for salaries and less for benefits out of a set budget for payroll) or the reverse (paying more for benefits) is the heart of benefit and compensation strategy and management. Most organizations' benefit plans and health plan coverage are affected by the salary level decision. For example, 401(k) and defined benefit plans leverage off the salary decision. Most pension plans now utilize a "final years’ average" salary base to calculate benefits. Salary levels are the basis for a host of benefits coverage levels: group life, accidental death and dismemberment, long term disability, worker's compensation, and short term disability are all tied directly to base salary levels paid to employees. Knowing the reliability of survey data used to set these salaries greatly improves your ability to serve your organization.
