Survey Organization

SURVEY CONTENTS This survey presents compensation data submitted by 234

California firms for 134 surveyed classifications.

Participating firms constitute a broad sample of various

industries, company sizes, and types of ownership.

ORGANIZATION OF THE SURVEY This survey examines data pertinent to jobs in the

following three broad functional areas: office/clerical,

maintenance / material handling, and production.

SCOPE OF THE SURVEY The 134 positions that were surveyed are further divided

into the following sub-functional groupings:

finance/accounting, payroll/ credit/ purchasing, customer

service representatives, general office, human resources,

departmental staff, administrative / secretarial services,

marketing & sales, computer operations, insurance

industry, general classifications, maintenance, stocking/

inventory, shipping/ receiving, drivers, warehouse/

material handling, production, and technical. All positions

in this survey are nonexempt in terms of the Federal

Wage-Hour Law.

SURVEY METHOD E-mails were sent to member and non-member firms in

California during early May 2016. Emails included links

that go directly to the online survey, PDF version of the

questionnaire and spreadsheet reporting form. The

questionnaire and spreadsheet were also available for

download at http://egsurveys.net. Where information

submitted seemed to be questionable, telephone

verification was made with the participant. Data reported

reflects base rates only - this is not an earnings survey.

Specifically excluded are such supplementary payments as

overtime premium pay, shift differentials, wage

incentives, profit sharing bonuses and similar types of

compensation. Cost-of-living allowances are included,

however.

PRESENTATION OF DATA All information relative to base, salary ranges, and

additional compensation is presented in HOURLY Figures.

salary data for each job classification is summarized into

Geographic Differentials

Area Differentials The following table lists 14 geographic

differentials for California using the state

average as a base for comparison. To obtain a

wage for any of the 14 locations, simply

multiply the "California" weighted average

obtained from the survey report of the position

in question by the differential of the

appropriate city and divide the result by 100.

For example, the estimated wage for the

Intermediate Payroll Clerk (Job Code 40) in

Orange County is $23.61 per hour based on a

California average of $21.74.

Notes:

1. The differentials presented on the table apply

ONLY to hourly positions. Differentials should

not be used to estimate professional,

management, executive, or other classifications.

2. Occasionally significant variations can be

found among certain cities within the counties

represented in the Geographic Differential table.

Therefore, the distinct characteristics of specific

labor markets should be used in combination

with estimated results.

3. Wage differentials provide estimates of what

wages can reasonably be expected when

everything else is equal and held constant, e.g.

industries, labor markets, the economy, etc.

However, since industries, labor markets, and

economic conditions do change, the accuracy of

geographic differentials will change accordingly.

Therefore, observe caution when using wages

derived from area differentials, particularly if

the labor market is in a rapid state of flux.

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS PERTAINING TO DATA PAGES

v BASE SALARY (HOURLY)

# of Co. - Number of companies that provided data for the job in question.

# of Emply. - Number of incumbents (employees) making up the sample.

*UN-WEIGHTED AVERAGE – Simple Average of organization’s base salary.

*WEIGHTED AVERAGE - Derived by multiplying each rate being paid by the number of employees receiving that

salary, adding the results and dividing the total by the total number of employees reported for that position.

25th & 75th Percentile - The middle 50 percent of the survey cases (rates) reported when arranged in ascending

or descending value order. This range excludes 25 percent of the employees whose rates are reported at the

lower extreme and 25 percent of the employees whose rates are reported at the upper extreme.

50th PERCENTILE (MEDIAN) - Is the mid point in a group of survey cases (rates) arranged in ascending or

descending order as reported for each job classification. Fifty percent of the cases are equal to or more than the

median figure and 50 percent are equal to or less than the median.

NOTE: Data reported reflect base rates only. Specifically excluded are such supplementary payments as

overtime premium pay, shift differentials, wage incentives, profit-sharing bonuses and similar types of

compensation.

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS PERTAINING TO DATA PAGES - Continued

v TOTAL COMPENSATION (ANNUAL)

*Un-Wtd Avg. - Simple average of organization’s total compensation.

*WEIGHTED AVERAGE - Derived by multiplying each rate being paid by the number of employees receiving that

salary, adding the results and dividing the total by the total number of employees reported for that position.

25th % & 75th % (percentiles) - The middle 50 percent of the survey cases (rates) reported when arranged in

ascending or descending value order. This range excludes 25 percent of the employees whose rates are

reported at the lower extreme and 25 percent of the employees whose rates are reported at the upper

and 50 percent are equal to or less than the median.

*WEIGHTED vs. UN-WEIGHTED AVERAGES

Weighted Average gives more influence to those organizations that submit more incumbents for a certain

position than those that submit less. It allows users to view the average of what companies are paying to each

incumbent for a certain position. Un-Weighted Average gives equal influence for each organization who submits

data for a certain position. It allows users to view the average of what companies are paying for a certain

position.

v SALARY RANGES (ANNUAL)

DEFINITION - Typically part of a formal compensation program, salary ranges establish the lowest and highest

salary that a company is willing to pay for a given position. The ranges reported in this survey do not include

those based on a broadband structure.

# of Co. - Number of companies that have formal salary ranges for the position in question.

Minimum - bottom value in a formal salary range, representing the lowest salary at which an employee is

usually paid.

Midpoint - middle value in a formal salary range, representing the "mid-value" between the minimum and

maximum.

Maximum - highest value in a formal salary range, representing the highest salary at which an employee is

usually paid.

NOTE TO THE USER Salary surveys provide a valuable tool for determining how an organization's pay structure relates to others in a given area or

industry. However, survey users should not attempt to use the reported measures of central tendency as absolute

compensation standards. Many factors, such as size and industry classification of reporting firms, can affect data obtained for

individual classifications. Therefore, it is recommended that the sample size and constitution, such as the industry mix and

size distribution, be examined before using any survey data in compensation decisions.
