Pay Budgets for 2013–What’s the Plan?

By Stephen D. Bruce, PHR
Editor, HR Daily Advisor

Compensation planning? There’s nothing more basic than the pay budget, and everyone needs good survey data to support their decision-making. Of course, we can’t generate great data unless you participate in our brief pay budget survey.<

Take the 2012-2013 pay budget survey now.

For years, BLR has surveyed HR, compensation, and benefits professionals to get an accurate gauge of pay budget planning.

We want to find out how companies like yours are planning for compensation this year and next. Please help by filling out our brief survey; we’ll share the results in a future issue (we’ll email them to you if you give us an email address), so you can get an idea of how you measure up and what alternatives you could be considering.

Key issues we’re probing in our survey:

  • General and merit increases for 2012 and 2013
  • Rate range adjustments
  • Bonus plans
  • Sources of comp planning data

Please take a few minutes now to complete this brief, but very important, survey.
