Clearwater, FL / October 5, 2009—Lower employee turnover and lower merit raises are the findings of annual salary, wage and benefits surveys by Effective Resources, Inc.
The salary survey covers data from 167 Florida employer participants, representing close to one million employees.
The Florida regional surveys cover Tampa Bay, South Florida, and Northeast Florida, while the overall survey covers the entire state. The wages reported include industry groups such as banking, finance and insurance, government/education, healthcare, hospitality and restaurants, manufacturing/distribution, not-for-profit, services (business/consumer) and sales (retail/wholesale) and more.
Among the highlights of the survey’s findings for Florida:
- The average monthly employee turnover for Florida employers is 2.3% —considerably higher than the 1.8% reported in this survey last year but much less than the national average of 3.6%.
- The reported 3.2% planned merit increase is lower than the national average of 3.8% and is down from 3.6% as reported in last year’s survey.
“If you can afford a merit increase, do it.” suggests Barry Brown, president of Effective Resources Inc., the owners of SalarySurveyOnline.com. “When things start to return to normal, you’ll be in a more competitive position. If not, consider non-cash rewards and don’t hesitate to budget merit increases when your company’s survival is a little more certain.”
Aggregate wage information is reported for over 300 jobs with data break-outs by region, industry, company size, and more. The surveys also include an extensively detailed eight-section benefits report with details for medical premium increases, life insurance and disability plans, medical out-of-pocket costs, 401(k) matching, vacation and sick time, and other important issues facing today’s employers.
