What the Salary Survey provides subscribers

Subscribers to the Survey receive accurate, timely information on market rates, salary packaging and salary reviews. In particular, the survey encompasses:

• general industry and employment trends for salary and benefits movements within the industry
• special salary and remuneration surveys covering areas such as staff turnover, vehicle allowances, sales commissions and specific benefit packages
• updates on changes to specific job roles and job classes
• historical industry trends of annual percentage increases in salary structures.

The Salary Survey is a vital tool for employers in the ICT industry, and AIIA member companies use it to develop their recruitment and remuneration strategies. It assists AIIA members to balance the dual goals of rewarding employees while achieving strategic business targets. Unlike other surveys, which may monitor print or Internet job advertisements, AIIA’s Salary Survey captures information on new, existing and departing employees across the breadth of the ICT industry.
