Why ERC Compensation Data?

Through frequent polls and surveys, ERC offers a comprehensive collection of recent, reliable data covering workplace practices, employee compensation, benefits, wages, and salaries from local, regional, and national samples.

While “free” compensation data can be found on the web, here’s why you should be cautious:

  • Validity — Often “free” salary data is collected from anyone willing to participate or share information. This means you don’t have a good sense of how big the sample size is, the geography of the data, or the type or size of organizations from which the data is being collected.
  • Recency — ERC’s survey data relies on regular and consistent participation to ensure that the data is recent, while “free” pay data sources may provide data that is many years old.
