1. Please enter all data as of 01/01/2019.

2. If a question or job title/description does not apply to your company, please leave all applicable fields blank and go to the next question.

3. Report all pay rates as hourly rates, even for exempt level positions. Enter it in the form of ###.##. Do not include a dollar sign ($). Please enter percentages in the same form (###.##). Do not include the percentage sign (%).

4. Only match an employee to one benchmark job within the survey.

5. Report only data for jobs that are consistent with the job description. You will need to review all job titles before classifying jobs into one category. Please only put one job/position into one category.

As a rule of thumb, match your company's jobs with benchmarks in the survey only if the description matches the MAJORITY of what the job incumbent(s) do on the job. At least 75% of the duties assigned to the job incumbent(s) should be consistent with the description of the benchmark. If the job could be classified into more than one description contained within the survey, match the job with what the employee(s) do more of as long as it is the majority of the work they perform.

5. Report only full-time regular (non-contract or temporary) employees.

6. You do not have to enter all of the data for the survey in one sitting. YOU DO HOWEVER HAVE TO COMPLETE AN ENTIRE PAGE AND CLICK "NEXT" AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IN ORDER FOR YOUR DATA TO BE SAVED.
To re-enter the survey, you will simply reaccess the survey through the web link sent to you. The survey will direct you to the last completed page.

7.  All questions marked with a * are mandatory to complete.   You will not be able to move forward without answering them.
