2008 Compensation Survey Announcement
You are invited to participate in the
Central New York SHRM 2008 Compensation and Benefits Survey between May 22 and June 22nd.
The survey will provide you with current information on pay rates, benefits and incentive
compensation practices of employers in Central New York.
Survey data is an invaluable tool for attracting and retaining employees in
addition to helping you assure market competitiveness. Esther Renne, Human Resources
Generalist of AAA Western and Central New York had this to say about last years
survey, Our organization used the data from the local CNY SHRM compensation survey
to convince management to adjust starting pay rates in our call center to better align
with our local competition. This adjustment has benefited overall by increasing our
qualified applicant pool and lowering our attrition rate.
The survey is web-based and you will be able to access your last years
compensation inputs. In addition, you will also be able to print the survey questionnaire
before you get started. Participants will be charged a nominal fee of $25.00 ($195.00 for
non participants) to receive results. To ensure confidentiality, only aggregate data will
be reported.
Job categories include: administration/clerical, banking, engineering, finance,
healthcare, human resources, information technology, maintenance, non profit, operations

doing good work. This condition is not healthy for the morale OR bottom line of your
organization! How can you effectively recognize, reward and inspire your employees to
achieve peak performance? Come join us on September 10th and learn how from the world
