How does the site work?

Once you have received your subscription confirmation and you have logged into SalarySearch we need to know about the level of the job that you want to benchmark against the external market, the function or job family and the job title that will best describe the job and its contents, using the jobs available to you as a starting point.

Salary Criteria

This is when you can now select the appropriate criteria for your organisation from the different options listed below. The criteria available to select from are:

• The size of the organisation (8 bands available)
• The number of employees in the organisation (7 bands available)
  
• The region where the organisation is located (10 UK regions available)
  
• The county and town where the organisation is located (68 counties and 78 towns in the UK available)
  
• The industry sector of the organisation (34 available)

With this number of options available to choose from, there are approximately 300,000 possible combinations of analysis for each job.

Your results will show the data analysis that you have requested and in the case of SalarySearch plus the analysis for each of your chosen criteria.

Benefits Analysis

Typical benefits packages for the level of job chosen will be provided. Employee benefits differ depending in the level of the job and, for most senior jobs the size of the company. Croner Reward have been researching the benefits packages of all levels of job for over 30 years. All this work is distilled into a series of tables of benefits available to you on this website. These tables are tailored to take into account the variations and influences on the typical reward package.

Below is a list of the benefits information, depending on the level of the job and the size of your organisation that will be provided in your results.

Directors There are nine tables available, dependent on the type of job and size of organisation. The benefits covered are the same in each of the reports, but the content changes for Chairman, Managing Director or Functional Director and for the size of company, based on the following size groups:

Small Turnover/Revenue between £25,000 and £25M
Large Turnover/Revenue between £25M and £200M
Top Turnover/Revenue over £200M

A typical report, without data, is shown below for you to see the type of analysis you will receive.

Management There are twelve tables available covering jobs at Croner Reward ranks 1 to 4 with a split for the size for of the organisation as in the case of directors.

Clerical Staff Benefits packages differ very little between the levels of jobs or organisation size in this group of employees and only one table has been prepared to cover the ranks 5 to 9 for management and clerical jobs.

Operatives (Manual workers) As in the case of clerical staff, benefits tend to be identical for all levels of operative staff and therefore only one table has been created to provide you with the information you need on the benefits for shop floor jobs.
