| | Susan Amason's Comprehensive Project List | COMPENSATION PROJECTSTOP TO BOTTOM PLANS In each case, jobs were identified and analyzed, FLSA audits were conducted where needed, benchmark jobs were subsequently identified and relevant market data was pulled from published, national and local third-party surveys. An up-to-date library of surveys from many recognized survey providers, such as Hay, Towers Perrin, UNIFI, Watson Wyatt, William M. Mercer, in addition to many industry specific surveys, such as BOMA were used. I have had extensive experience completing and analyzing survey data from all sources and it presents no problem when I have to use clients’ industry specific surveys to complete their projects. In most cases, this was a step in a much larger overall compensation project. For these companies and non-profit organizations, I was asked to analyze and obtain market data for all jobs from hourly, non-exempt to the President/CEO. I was able to benchmark a minimum of 80% of all jobs in every case (up to 100% in some cases, depending on the industry.) - AMERICAN PILOTS ASSOCIATION (Union)
