To say the past year was an interesting one would clearly be an understatement. While most employers feel the economic turbulence has passed, and look forward to a period of stable, albeit modest, recovery, no one is naive enough to believe a return to the heady days of growth is near.
In fact, the prevailing attitude right now is one of cautious optimism as a new set of realities kicks in including:
Smaller workforces, as companies maintain core staff levels only
Many people working beyond their normal retirement age, leading to a further aging of the workforce
Increased stress levels amongst employees as companies seek to do more with less
A prolonged period of very modest salary increases as companies adopt a guarded approach to compensation
To help you deal with some of these new realities, we are pleased to present the 2010 Gerald Walsh Salary Guide, the most comprehensive assessment of salaries and benefits in Atlantic Canada.
For 14 years, employers have used our annual Salary Guide as an integral part of their recruitment and retention strategies to determine if the salary levels they are paying are fair and competitive. Likewise, individuals find the Guide to be beneficial as they negotiate salaries with new employers or salary increases with current employers.
Salary ranges are presented for three categories:
Small business (under $10 million revenue)
Mid-size business ($10 - $25 million revenue)
Larger businesses (over $25 million revenue)
Within these categories, 46 distinct job types are analyzed under six functional disciplines: marketing and communications, sales, accounting and finance, production, administration, and human resources. For a complete listing of these jobs, click here.
The data contained within this Guide is derived from a number of primary and secondary research sources including searches our firm has undertaken and candidates we have interviewed. Externally, we have gathered research through various professional and industry associations, in addition to a survey of 500 Atlantic Canadian employers, managers and professionals.
The Gerald Walsh Salary Guide can be purchased online for $45 (plus HST). To order, simply complete and submit the order form below. You will then be transferred to a secure PAYPAL server, which will accept credit card payment. You should receive your Salary Guide by email within 24 hours.
