UNDERSTANDING OF CONFIDENTIALITYThis survey questionnaire should be completed with the understanding that: Organization identity and compensation or benefit information will remain confidential for non-
governmental organizations and will not be released without advanced approval by the organization.
The contents and the resulting survey report will not be used in collective bargaining sessions or in grievance proceedings by either Employers Council or the organization.

Please Keep This Sheet Attached to the QuestionnaireIndicate any changes to name and address below.
Download your data from your HRIS system. If you have access to your salary data in your payroll or HRIS system, you
can download your data and submit an Excel spreadsheet instead of entering the data into the online survey or manually complete the rate sheet.
Did you participate in the 2017 Employers Council Benchmark Compensation Survey? If yes … You do not need to review all the job descriptions. Look for those positions
that have had job description changes. You can find these positions quickly by referring to the Table of Contents page of the Job Description Booklet and look for “Changes for 2018 in this classification”.
If you would like your data from last year’s survey to assist you with matching positions in the 2018 survey, please contact [email protected].
Looking for specific jobs? Refer to the Job Description Booklet Index. There is an Index of all surveyed positions in the back of the Job Description
Booklet to assist you in matching jobs in your organization to positions in the survey. The Index by Job Code is on pages 77-82; the Alphabetical Index is on pages 83-88.
Focus on Job Families that relate to your industry. For example, if you DO NOT have manufacturing positions, skip the
Production/Production Control Classification.
How do I know if my job is a good match to the survey job description? Do not merely match job titles. It is the content of the job that determines a
good match. Report only employees who spend 70% or more of their time in the
described function. Note jobs with several levels. Read all descriptions before determining a
match. For Full-Time employees, report FULL-TIME AND FULL-TIME equivalent data.
For Part-Time employees, report hourly dollar amount or an annual rate reflecting a 40 hour work week.
Look for key words within a job description (i.e., responsible for, requires, exclude, etc.).
I can’t find a good job description in the questionnaire for an employee. Do not try to force match every employee into the survey. It is not
necessary that you report all of your employees, nor is it necessary that you report for every job in the survey.
No time to make job matches? Need help? Contact the Employers Council Surveys Department at
[email protected]. We are available to consult with you on how to match jobs in the Benchmark Compensation Survey.
