Compensation

Would you like to know how compensation for your positions? The site www.wageweb.com contains compensation data from over 1300 organizations in 160 benchmark positions in administration, HR., finance, information management, engineering, health care, sales / marketing, and manufacturing. Its mission is to provide compensation information and services to help you attract and retain your most valuable asset--your employees.

A membership fee is required to access the salary data, but the $100 fee is well within the range of job-seekers so you may need it to be prepared to set salary ranges or negotiate. Things have changed when both employees and employers have access to the same, up-to-the-minute data.

Abbott Langer and Associates provides benchmark compensation data available for purchase on the web.

Dartnell Corporation publishes two texts on sales force compensation surveys annually focused on large corporations and small companies.

For free information, visit www.salary.com. This free website has a "Salary Wizard" which allows you to factor in variables (like your level of education and years of experience) to find out what your should be paid based on geographical factors.

Knowing a salary range prior to going to an interview can tell you a lot about the company and how they reward their employees. Just don't forget to factor in things like flex scheduling, benefit packages, and encentive awards when you calculate your salary!

Until then....happy Job Hunting!
