BUSINESSES in Peterborough are being invited to take part in the 12th annual Local Market Salary Survey in a bid to provide a comprehensive snapshot of local employees’ pay and benefits.

The survey has become a vital reference tool for businesses and their HR personnel in the Greater Peterborough area. Details of thousands of employees’ salary packages have been gathered and over the years hundreds of companies have taken part.

Produced by specialist reward consultants PAYdata Ltd, in partnership with Anne Corder Recruitment (ACR), the survey provides information on remuneration packages for a wide variety of roles across many sectors of industry. The final report gives companies the information they need to remain competitive – and realistic.

“In the current challenging market conditions, employers need to ensure their HR practices remain practical and relevant,” said ACR consultant Nel Woolcott. “Having access to up to date local market pay information is essential to do that.”

Employers are invited to fill in a strictly confidential questionnaire by email or fax. The results will be compiled and a report produced and sent to all participants, free of charge, in September. The report is available to non-participants for a fee.

“The Peterborough Salary Survey has always proved very popular among local businesses and we expect this year to be no different,” said Tim Kellett, data services manager with PAYdata. “We always encourage participation because this makes the results more indicative and more companies can benefit from receiving this unique report.”
