Please familiarize yourself with all instructions before filling out the questionnaire.
No hospital/clinic’s structure or job descriptions will match exactly the jobs outlined in this survey. It is critical that participating hospital/clinics match their jobs as closely as possible. Our objective is to provide survey results that accurately reflect competitive pay levels for jobs involving work of a similar nature and performed at a similar skill level.
□ Use data closest to, but not later than
March 1, 2021.
If rates will change within next 30 days, please
report new rates.
□ Completion of survey information electronically
is preferred.
Be sure to mark on the computer sheet the job number you are matching.
□ Photocopy questionnaire(s).
Please photocopy your completed questionnaire(s) for your records.
□ If you are NOT a 24/7 facility, do not include your data in job families identified as “24/7”
□ Clinics and Physician Practices report in Clinic section.
□ Review job descriptions.
Do not merely match job titles. It is the content of the job that determines a good match.
◊ Report only employees who spend 70% or more
of their time in the described function.
◊ Do not report the same employee in more
than one job.
No incumbent should be reported in both the Wage and Supervisory/Management sections of the survey.
◊ Do not try to force match every employee.
It is not necessary that you report all your employees, nor is it necessary that you report for every job in the survey.
◊ Report actual rates.
Report the number of employees receiving each actual rate. Do not report averages.
◊ Only report established rate ranges.
Include formally established limits of pay for a given job. Exclude step progressions (wage increases granted at fixed intervals based solely on length of service).
Minimum – The lowest rate that can be paid to an entry-level employee who is qualified to perform the minimum requirements of the job.
Midpoint – The middle point between the minimum and the maximum of the rate range.
Maximum – The highest rate an employee can obtain in the job.
◊ Report employees working at least 15 hours per week.
Report only regularly-scheduled employees unless otherwise noted.
Exemption Status
Indicate if the incumbent is exempt under
Federal Wage-Hour Law.
◊ Exclude:
◊ rates for unique situations, such as demotion or accommodation, where an incumbent is paid more/less than you would normally pay for the position;
◊ employees working fewer than 15 hours per week;
◊ employees who are in a pool, on-call, or temporary;
◊ consultants; and
◊ shift premiums, overtime premiums, lead differentials, on-call premiums.
◊ Long-term care facility employees (nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, etc.). See Senior Services survey for these employees.
◊ Include:
◊ additional compensation granted in equal amounts to all employees in a job (e.g., cost-of-living accumulations), and
◊ established rate range even if the position is vacant.
SUPERVISORY/MANAGEMENT
◊ For the purpose of Reporting Relationships,
Use the Following:
◊ Coordinator – Coordinates a function.
◊ Supervisor – Supervises incumbents.
◊ Assistant Administrator – Responsible for one or more of the following functional areas: Financial Services, Administrative Services, Professional Services, Patient Care Services or Support Services.
◊ Administrator – Administers, directs and coordinates all activities of the hospital. Exclude Chairman of the Board and Medical personnel.
◊ Unless otherwise indicated, only report incumbents who supervise at least one employee.
◊ Report only full-time employees (employees working at least 35 hours per week) or are fully equivalent. If employees work less than 40 hours per week, report hourly dollar amount or an annual rate reflecting a 40 hour work week.
