Regional Pay Survey Methodology & Demographics Report Formats Data is separated into four primary sections: Participants by Area Job Description Summaries Index of Jobs Surveyed Regional Job Detail Reports Participants by Area This section lists all Oregon, Washington, and Idaho survey participants in alphabetical order by geographic area unless a participant requested not to be listed. In addition, demographic analyses are provided based on participant geographic area, total employment, and industry groupings of participants. Index of Jobs Surveyed This section includes a listing of all jobs surveyed in job code order within each job family. For each job title, a page number is provided for easy reference to the applicable Job Description Summary. Job Description Summaries For each job title, a job description summary, which notes the typical duties and qualifications associated with the job, is provided in job code order. The survey job description summary is intended as a reference for assuring job comparability when analyzing pay data. Regional Job Detail Reports (Located in the Wage and Executive Reports) This section provides detailed reports of pay data for each job surveyed throughout Oregon, Washington, and Idaho and is in job code order. They are useful to organizations which need to analyze various market considerations to meet the objectives of their compensation programs. In addition to a summary of all Oregon, Washington, and Idaho participants combined, this report displays data breakouts based on the following regional participant considerations: Geographic Area* Industry Profit Status Employment Size Union Status Job Match Degree Revenue/Budget * Includes Portland Metro, Mid-Willamette, Total Willamette, Oregon Surrounding Area, Seattle Metro, Washington Coast, Total Western Washington, Central & Eastern Washington, Oregon State Total, and Washington State Total breakouts. Idaho participant data has been grouped with Central & Eastern Washington. This section also studies the impact of bonuses and incentive plans on pay practices within the region. It presents bonus, incentive and total compensation information for jobs in which bonuses or incentives were reported. Because many organizations pay bonuses or incentives to some or all employees, this analysis provides critical information for accurately pricing jobs. Page 3 © 2021. All rights reserved.
