Annual Regional Compensation & Benefits Survey

Compensation Report Sample

Our annual survey is administered by Western SC in partnership with Augusta Regional Development Authority, Columbia County Development Authority, and McDuffie County Development Authority. The compensation part of the survey is annual with the benefits portion added every other year. Participants’ identifying data is removed and the data processed to insure anonymity.

The Regional Compensation & Benefits Survey helps participants to gauge:

  • Starting pay
  • Salary & Wage comparisons
  • Compensation Practices
  • Benefits (insurance, etc.)

Participating industries use this survey report to add benefits and increase wages to improve labor force retention. Contact us today to learn how your industry can participate.
