Section 7 - OCCUPATIONAL SALARY DATA

Please report base wages and salaries only, i.e., do not include incentive, overtime or other premium pay. Whenever there is more than one rate/salary/commission being paid to the same job classification, please provide "weighted averages". To calculate WEIGHTED AVERAGES to determine a salary; total the individual base salary for the particular job classification and divide by the corresponding number of employees. For example:

SALES REPRESENTATIVE

Employee A is paid $20,000/yr
Employee B is paid $22,000/yr
Employee C is paid $25,000/yr
Employee D is paid $28,000/yr
Employee E is paid $28,000/yr

Total the annual salary of all employees in the classification and then divide it by the number of employees, i.e., total of all salaries is $123,000 divided by 5 (employees). Therefore, the weighted average is $24,600. The same calculation also applies to determine weighted average commissions.

Please provide the salary data that best matches the jobs in the survey. If you pay a job we classify as “salaried” on an hourly basis, we ask that you annualize your figures, by multiplying the wage by the number of hours in your organization’s regular work week and then by 52 weeks.

7.1.  Please provide data for as many jobs as your organization has matches for.
