Participation benefits

CELRE's business is based on participation-based salary surveys, which use the principles of "give and get". The more data you give the more you benefit...

PARTICIPATION
What you get
CELRE salary survey participants get a 12 month subscription to our online Job Pricing tool, which allows them to query the salary survey database using a wide range of filters including: organisation type, industry, turnover, location, responsibility level, job function etc.

As part of the subscription, participants also have access to a PDF survey report featuring commonly referenced salary tables, which they can download.

Survey updates
At a fixed point in the year (twice a year for the IT survey) CELRE uploads a new set of salary data based on the most recent survey submissions. These new datasets are immediately reflected in the online Job Pricing Service, and published in a new PDF survey report.

Participants with a current subscription will continue to have access to all previously subscribed-to datasets.

The benefits
The benefits of participating in CELRE salary surveys are two-fold.

1. Comparisons: By submitting your own organisation's data to CELRE by the deadline, it will automatically be included in the survey. This will allow you to compare your rates of pay and benefits against the wider sample. You can do this using online Job Pricing, or by purchasing tailor-made Modas/Midas spreadsheets (Matching Own Data Against the Survey and Matching Individuals' Data Against the Survey).

This functionality is not available to non-participants.

Participants whose subscription start date is soon after the previous data deadline (eg subscription starts on 1 December, data deadline was 1 September) are - if desired - able to submit 'late data'*. This will allow them to compare their pay and benefits against the wider sample using the online Job Pricing tool and ensure they get the most out of your subscription.
However it is important to remember that data submitted in this way will not be represented in the survey itself.

Organisations that submit 'late data' at the start of their subscription to enable comparison are still expected to resubmit updated salary data by the published deadline.

2. Price: CELRE's prices favour participants. Typically prices for non-participants are double those for participants.

NB. Participants are expected to submit their organisation's salary data via the supplied spreadsheets or data upload by the published deadline. Failure to do so will result in the subscription automatically being converted to a non-participation subscription (see below) for the full subscription period and the generation of a further invoice for the balance of the non-participation subscription fee due.

NON-PARTICIPATION
Non-participants are able to subscribe to most of CELRE's salary surveys (excluding the IT survey and a number of "club surveys"), though at a higher price and with reduced functionality.

What you get
CELRE salary survey non-participants get a 12 month subscription to online Job Pricing based on the current dataset at the point of purchase only. Online Job Pricing for non-participants allows them to query the salary survey database using a wide range of filters including: organisation type, industry, turnover, location, responsibility level, job function etc.

As part of the subscription, non-participants also have access to a PDF survey report featuring commonly referenced salary tables, which they can download.

Comparison
Non-participants are not able to compare their own organisation's data with the wider survey results using the online Job Pricing tool.

Survey updates
Access to subsequent datasets must be purchased as a separate subscription.
