2015 Wage & Benefit Survey

HATC 2015 Wage & Benefit Survey

The HATC Wage & Benefit Survey is one of your most valuable membership benefits. Only member hotels that complete this survey correctly and in its entirety (dashes, spaces, etc., do not constitute an answer) will receive a FREE copy of the published results. These results will provide you with wage information for Tarrant County and some specific geographic areas within the DFW Metroplex.

To complete the survey, you will need a list of the positions in your hotel that are paid an hourly wage, with the starting wage, wage after 90 days, and average wage for each position. If you have more than one level of employee in a category, use the level with the lowest starting wage. If a category is listed where you currently have no employees but have had in the past or plan to have in future, please enter the minimum starting wage for that position. Remember, your responses should be for HOURLY EMPLOYEE WAGES ONLY.

Completed surveys must be received by August 10, 2015.
