INSTRUCTIONS
To make this survey the greatest value to you and to all other participants, please follow these instructions carefully:
QUESTIONS 2 & 3: Please provide information for these two questions based on your location. This information is used to
present data in different formats in the results.
PAY PERIOD: Report salaries for the pay period nearest to July 1, 2009.
REPORTING PAY: Base rates are defined as actual straight time pay. Do not include overtime premiums, shift differentials,
bonuses or any other incentives or variable pay components. Straight time salaries are usually
automatically adjusted when cost of living allowances (COLA) become effective, therefore, COLA
adjustments should be included in the rates you report.
JOB MATCHING Read the position descriptions carefully and compare to jobs in your organization. If responsibilities of
PERCENTAGE: jobs in the survey coincide with your positions by 70% or better, report data for the matched position. If
jobs do not coincide with those in the survey by at least 70%, do not report data for that job. If an
employee has responsibilities that could fit under more than one job, report their salary under the position
where they spend the majority of their time.
