Designed to support both firms and individuals, the study allows users to benchmark salaries, bonuses, and PTO; filter results to tailor searches; and visualize workplace trends that inform business growth and career decisions. This is one of the most comprehensive resources NCSEA has produced on compensation and benefits, offering continuously updated data to ensure accuracy and relevance.
If you have any questions about the study, please reach out to us at ncsea@ncsea.com.
Note: NCSEA is conducting a firm-level survey, which is accessible via a link provided directly by the association. If your firm’s leaders or HR personnel have not received a firm survey link, please email ncsea@ncsea.com with “Send Me Firm Survey” as the subject line to ensure your firm’s participation. If your firm has multiple office locations, please enter the data for each office separately (each as a unique user). This allows us to filter all data by geography. If you have multiple office locations and need assistance, please email ncsea@ncsea.com so we can help set up a customized data approach.
