2011 Salary Survey Report…What’s in it? How can it help my agency? The 126-page 2011 Salary & Fringe Benefit Survey Summary Report reflects data as of January 31, 2011, including a compilation of actual salaries of over 5,000 employees across 73 job classifications within 44 Michigan private, nonprofit child and family service agencies. The report also includes extensive and detailed information related to employee benefits, making it that much easier to compare your agency's compensation packages to agencies across the state and in your region of the state. All data in the report is presented geographically: statewide, SE Michigan counties and counties outside of SE Michigan.

The brochure attached (SalSurRptWhatsInIt.pdf) spells out important uses for the report’s data, including a new IRS Form 990 requirement to document “reasonable compensation" paid to key employees. Read more about this in the attached BDO USA article titled, “Compensation and Transactions on the New Form 990.”

The 2010 Salary & Fringe Benefit Survey Summary Report reflects data current as of January 31, 2010, including a compilation of actual salaries of 4,890 employees across 71 job classifications within 41 Michigan private, nonprofit child and family service agencies, presented geographically: statewide, SE Michigan counties and counties outside of SE Michigan.

This 126-page report includes statewide aggregate data, plus four breakdowns of the General Information, Fringe Benefits, Staff Turnover Report, and Salaries Report by size of agency. This amount of detail allows for a close comparison among similarly sized organizations as agencies consider their own employee compensation packages.
