The “WorldatWork 2014-2015 Salary Budget Survey” consists of two components: this “Executive Report & Analysis” and the customizable “Online Reporting Tool.” The “Executive Report & Analysis” includes an execu-tive summary and data highlights for the United States, Canada and 15 other countries. A list of participating orga-nizations, definitions of terms in the survey and a copy of the complete questionnaire also are printed in this book.

More detailed U.S. and Canadian results from the salary budget survey are available through the “Online Reporting Tool” for no additional charge, giving users the ability to customize reports by geographic region, industry, state and other ways that are relevant to organizations. Users may run an unlimited number of reports during the subscription period, as well as save or print the reports.

The “Executive Report & Analysis” includes folders to organize and store these reports, effectively keeping all data together in one package.

The data presented in this report were collected in April 2014 for publication in August 2014, a three-month dura-tion between data collection and publication.

Introduction: Structure of the Salary Budget Survey

http://www.worldatwork.org/salarybudgetsurvey


Methodology

On March 31, 2014, all WorldatWork Premier Members were invited to participate in the “WorldatWork 2014-2015 Salary Budget Survey” through direct email, e-news-letters and the WorldatWork website. Members were asked to respond for the United States (U.S.), Canada and 15 other countries: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (UK). Respondents were asked to respond for any of these countries in which they have operations. When the survey officially closed on May 9, 2014, 5,252 responses had been received. If an organization reported fewer than 10 employees in a specific country, the response for that country was removed from the data set. Also, duplicate submissions for the same country within the same orga-nization were eliminated from the data set. The final data contain 4,695 responses, covering nearly 13 million employees worldwide. Each country was analyzed sepa-rately by statistical software, and a full list of organiza-tions that responded to the survey can be found on page 66.

Data for all countries are broken down by type of increase and employee category. Additional breakdowns are available for U.S. and Canada. Due to small sample size, only high-level data are reported for countries outside the U.S. and Canada.

U.S. data are broken into four employment catego-ries, with exemption status as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA):

❚❚ Nonexempt hourly nonunion

❚❚ Nonexempt salaried

❚❚ Exempt salaried

❚❚ Officers/executives.

All non-U.S. data are broken into four employment categories:

❚❚ Nonmanagement hourly nonunion

❚❚ Nonmanagement salaried

❚❚ Management salaried

❚❚ Officers/executives.

Survey instructions and post-survey data cleaning and verification help ensure accurate recording of a “zero-percent” response versus a response that has been left blank. A response of zero percent to any given question was interpreted (and verified when possible) as a conscious decision on the part of the organization to not budget for an increase that typically was given. Survey instructions specifically ask respondents to leave a questionnaire item blank if the organization either does not have that plan item, or does not typically budget or pay out for that item based on the plan. Thus, a zero-percent response reflects a decision to specifically not budget funds for the period in question. Due to feedback from survey users, this report includes total salary budget increases by employee category with and without zero-percent responses for each country, as indicated in Figures 2 (page 20), C2 (page 45-46), and G2B (page 61-62).

Not all organizations provide every type of base pay increase, and not every organization reports data for every employee category. In findings for which a composite number of all types of increases or all employee catego-ries are presented, the n’s equate to the total number of responses. This may include multiple responses from each respondent if the respondent is reporting for more than one type of increase or employee category.

The frequencies or response distributions listed in the report show the number of times or percent of times a value appears in a data set. Due to rounding, frequencies of data responses provided in this survey may not total 100 percent.

Industry DemographicsIndustry Demographics

Industry data for both the United States and Canada are based on participant self-reported codes using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The two- and three-digit codes selected for use with the 2014-2015 data set are presented in Figures K and L for the United States and Canada, respectively. Full definitions for these industry categories can be found at the NAICS website (www.census.gov/eos/www/naics). All major industry codes (two-digit) were used regardless of total sample size, and some industry subsets (three-digit) were broken out because of sufficiently large sample size.

The one exception to the NAICS codes is Telecom-mu nications (code 517), which resides as a subset of Information (code 51) in the NAICS. Due to the large sample size (n=41 United States and n=15 Canada) and for ease of reader use, Telecommunications was placed into its own category for the 2014-2015 report.

The main industry categories report data for all respon-dents within the category, regardless of whether they are reported in a subcategory. Therefore, the sum of all subcategories may not equal the main industry category’s sample size.

Salary Budget Increases – The Big Picture

“WorldatWork 2014-2015 Salary Budget Survey”

respondents report that 2014 total salary increase

budgets rose slightly to 3.0 percent (mean and

median), up from 2.9 percent one year ago. This

continues a trend of mildly increasing budgets since

the 2009 recession. Last year, respondents projected

that the 2014 average total salary budget increase

across all organizations, employee categories,

regions and industries in the United States would

reach 3.1 percent (median: 3.0 percent), but actual

numbers fell just short. (See Figure 1 on page 20.)

Looking forward, respondents are again anticipating

a slight rise in their salary increase budgets for 2015

to 3.1 percent (media: 3.0 percent).

Lack of Market Pressure Keeps Salary Budget

Growth at Modest Pace

Salary budget increase trends seem to be correlated

to the U.S. economy’s continued slow recovery from

the recession. However, absent other pressures on

wages, such as a tighter skilled-labor market, growth

in jobs, inflation or a significant drop in unemploy-

ment, no major shift in the size of planned base pay

increases for employees is expected. Salary increase

budgets will likely remain close to the 3.0 percent

mark until market forces require employers to raise

wages more aggressively in order to stay competitive.

Still Recovering From the Recession?

Average total salary budget increases have been

steadily rising from the all-time lows recorded in

the 2009 survey, and are still a full percentage point

below where they were before the recession. However,

an examination of the zero-percent responses in the

data suggests that the average increases have recov-

ered to the degree that they will, until labor market

forces change. Current salary budget increase

amounts are less about a recovery from widespread

pay freezes a few years back and more about the

current marketplace not demanding much growth

in the size of pay increases for employees.

The portion of organizations freezing pay increase

budgets spiked to about one-third of organizations

during the recession, causing an extreme drop in

average salary budget increase figures. However, most

employers that continued budgeting for pay increases

in 2009 did so in the 2 to 4 percent range. So in the

ensuing five years, the overall

average budget increase may have

appeared to be slowly recovering

but that had more to do with fewer

companies budgeting zero than

about companies increasing the

size of their budget year to year.

(See Figure 4 on page 21.) With so

few zero-percent responses now,

and overall averages not reaching

pre-recessionary thresholds near

4.0 percent, any recovery appears

to be over. The majority of organizations are planning

for pay increases each year, again, but economic and

market conditions continue to support only conserva-

tive growth in salary increase budgets. More moderate

salary increase budgets with only minimal growth

year over year may be here to stay until significant

pressure on wages comes from somewhere.

Most Common Salary Increase Budget Amounts

Organizations continue to converge on budget

amounts between 2 and 4 percent, with 85 to 90

percent of all organizations landing there, depending

on employee category. The percentage of organiza-

tions not awarding increases has dropped to 2 to 5

percent, fairly close to historical levels.

Impacts of Inflation and Unemployment

The U.S. rate of inflation for the 12-month period

ending April 2014, as measured by the U.S. Bureau

of Labor Statistics’ (BLS’) Consumer Price Index (CPI)

for all urban consumers, was 2.0 percent, compared

Salary increase budgets will likely remain close to the 3.0 percent mark until market forces require employers to raise wages more aggressively in order to stay competitive.

to the 3.0 percent national average total salary budget

increase for 2014. This may translate to greater buying

power for employees/consumers, unless that benefit

has been diminished by other increasing costs, such

as an increase in the employee’s portion of health-

care premiums.

The unemployment rate for the 16-years-and-older

labor force averaged 7.0 percent for the 12-month

period ending in April 2014, below the prior 12-month

average of 7.9 percent, according to the BLS. While the

official unemployment rate has dropped almost a full

percentage point in one year, this can be attributed, in

part, to the number of job seekers who have dropped

out of the labor force. Until the demand for labor

increases to meet the supply of job seekers, upward

pressure on wages will continue to be relatively low.

Figure 25 on page 36 puts a 10-year history of salary

budget trends into context with the CPI and unem-

ployment rate.

Merit Budgets

Organizations continue to focus on programs that

tie performance to pay. Figure 1 shows that merit

increase budgets remain the most prevalent —

three to five times more common than other types

of pay increases. Average merit-increase budgets

for 2014 were reported at 2.8 percent (median: 3.0

percent), representing a slight increase from 2013.

Respondents project another tenth of a percentage

point increase in 2015 to a mean of 2.9 percent

(median of 3.0 percent).

Pay for Performance

Even though the size of all salary increase budgets,

including merit budgets, remains on the conservative

side, there is still good evidence of differentiation of

awards. Looking at employee performance in 2013,

organizations averaged a 2.7-percent merit increase

for mid-level performers (median: 2.7 percent) and a

4.0-percent payout for top performers (median: 4.0

percent). (See Figure 17 on page 30.) Low performers

averaged a 0.6 percent increase in 2013, although

the median payout was zero. Pay increases for 2014

performance are expected to remain at 2.7 percent

for middle performers (median: 2.8 percent), and

climb to 4.1-percent (median: 4.0 percent) for high

performers.

High performers averaged a merit increase that

was 148 percent of that of their middle performer

counterparts, which is up from 144 percent in the

prior year. If merit increase projections are accurate,

differentiation between middle and high performers

in 2014 will expand to 152 percent. (See Figure 17a

on page 31.)


The average salary structure adjustment has not

changed since 2013. Participants report an average

2014 salary structure adjustment of 1.9 percent

(median: 2.0 percent) and project a 2.1 percent

overall structure adjustment (median: 2.0 percent)

for 2015. (See Figure 20 on page 32.)

Timing of Pay Increases

Historically, more than 95 percent of organiza-

tions report that pay increases are awarded every 12

Why does the number of zero-percent responses in the data matter?

WorldatWork includes zero-percent responses in the analysis, unless otherwise noted, because zeros represent a decision not to budget for a program and/or employee category that exists in the responding organization. (See Methodology on page 7 for more on how zero-percent responses are handled.)

When there is a large number of zeros in the data, averages, and sometimes medians, are skewed down. In years when pay freezes are rare, the zeros have very little impact on overall results. But if there is a significant rise in the number of zeros, the data can be negatively skewed. It’s important to not only consider measures of central tendency such as mean and median, but also the distribution of responses when avail-able. (See Figure 4 on page 21.)

months, with the average being close to 12 months.

In the past few years, there were more organiza-

tions reporting 15, 18 or 24 months between raises,

causing the average time between pay increases to go

up. In 2014, the average time between increases held

steady at just over 12.6 months (median: 12 months),

but still more than 94 percent plan to award on a

12-month cycle. (See Figure 3 on page 21.)

Percent of Employees Receiving Increases

Participating organizations reported awarding at

least some base salary increase to 89 percent of

employees in 2014 on average, which has been flat

for a few years. The median figures show that most

organizations will award pay increases to nearly all

employees. (See Figure 15 on page 30.)

State Data

All states averaged salary budget increases in line

with the national average of 3.0 percent in 2014,

and all share the median of 3.0 percent. For 2015,

most states anticipate either no change in the size

of salary increase budgets or a tenth of a percentage

point growth. (See Figure 7 on pages 24-25.)

Major Metropolitan Area Data

Responding organizations reported variance in

salary budget increase averages between major U.S.

metropolitan areas, although all medians sit right

at 3.0 percent. While there are no extreme outliers,

there are a few areas that did not follow the national

average trend line this year. The following eight

cities reported a decline from 2013 to 2014 by one

to three-tenths of a percentage point in average

total salary budget increases: Detroit, Miami,

Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Portland, San Diego, St.

Louis and Tampa. Houston, Los Angeles and San

Francisco trend above the national average, at a 3.1

percent budget for pay increases for 2014, which

represents no change from 2013. Projections for

2015 are again varied between cities when looking

at average budget figures, ranging from 2.8 to 3.2

percent. But median data still equalizes projections

at 3.0 percent for all metropolitan areas surveyed.

(See Figure 8 on page 25.)

Industry Data

As with metropolitan area data, there is some devia-

tion from national figures when sliced by industry.

Of the industries with a survey sample greater

than 30, four industries reported a drop in the size

of mean salary increase budgets. (See Figure 9 on

page 26.) Mining, Quarrying and Oil continues to

lead all industries with a 3.8 percent average budget

increase, although that average is down three-tenths

of a percentage point this year. Two industries are

at the bottom of the list this year at 2.5 percent:

Educational Services and Health-Care and Social

Assistance. Public Administration is reporting a

modest 2.7 percent average increase for 2014, but

that is half of a percentage point more than 2013.

Industry projections for 2015 continue to differ from

the national average trend line, with some going up

and some down. Median 2015 data, however, is 3.0

percent for most industries.

Organization Size Data

Consistent with past years’ data, salary increases

tend to be larger for smaller organizations. This

phenomenon appears more pronounced when size is

based on the number of employees than on revenue.

The range based on number of employees is 2.7 to 3.2

percent (See Figures 10 and 11 on page 27.)

Promotional Increases

The percentage of employees at responding organiza-

tions who received a promotional increase in 2013

was 7.6 percent, over half of a percentage point more

than the 7.0 percent average in 2012. The size of the

average promotional pay increase also grew from 8.1


UN

ITE

ES

to 8.3 percent. No change was found in the amount

that organizations plan to spend on promotional

increases in 2014 though, holding at 1.5 percent of

total base salaries.

More organizations are not budgeting for promo-

tional increases (53 percent) than are budgeting

for promotional increases (47 percent), although

the percentage that do budget has increased by

few percentage points over the past couple of years.

(See Figure 12 on page 28.) When promotions are

budgeted, nearly half of the organizations budget

separately for promotional increases from other

pay increase budgets. The other half allocates

additional monies in merit budgets (26 percent)

or other increase budgets (22 percent) to pay for

planned promotions. (See Figure 12B on page 28.)

When there isn’t a specific budget for promotional

increases, the majority of organizations (65 percent)

pay for promotions with either vacancy, salary or

other savings. About one-fourth (26 percent) pay

for promotions out of the merit budget even though

the merit budget is not inflated to cover the cost of

promotional increases. (See Figure 12B.)

Effect of Health-Care Costs

Due to concern about high health-care costs, the

Salary Budget Survey continues to ask about the

effect of such costs on salary budget recommenda-

tions. Year over year, most respondents (84 percent in

2014) indicate that health-care costs are not a factor

when formulating salary budget recommendations.

Variable Pay

The percentage of organizations

using variable pay grew to 84

percent this year. This number

has been hovering around 80

percent for many years, but in

the past few years it has climbed

a percentage point every year. A

combination of awards based

on organization/unit success as

well as individual performance

continues to be the most preva-

lent type of variable pay program. (See Figure 27 on

page 38.) The variable pay amounts budgeted and

paid out in all employee categories have been rela-

tively stable, even throughout the recession.

Compensation Program Prevalence

During the recession, many compensation activities

were suspended as organizations strived to curtail

costs. The prevalence of the hardest hit practices,

particularly market-based pay increases and bonuses

awards, fell dramatically. The 2014 data show that 74

percent are now utilizing market-based pay increases.

Similarly, sign-on/hiring bonuses, spot bonuses,

retention bonuses and project completion bonuses

are all up in usage over past years, suggesting that

organizations are beginning to pay more attention

to retention of employees as the economy continues

to improve. (See Figure 31 on page 41.)

The variable pay amounts budgeted and paid out in all employee categories have been relatively stable, even throughout the recession.

Compensation Philosophy

In the past, WorldatWork has asked about compensation philosophies to learn whether participating organizations prefer to pay at, above or below the market rate of pay. In

2012, the question was revised to better capture specific positioning in terms of the benchmark statistics used.

A lump-sum award is defined as an increase in pay that is made in the form of a single cash payment. Lump-sum awards often are used in one of three circumstances:

❚❚ When an employer does not want to increase the employee’s base pay due to budget constraints

❚❚ When an employee is reaching or exceeding the maximum of his/her salary range

❚❚ When an employer is trying to give the employee more buying power at a specific point in time.


An organization’s salary structure is a hierarchy of pay ranges with established minimums and maximums. Organizations frequently apply control points (often the midpoint) within each salary range. The collection of those

control points determines the pay line. As a general rule, the numbers displayed in Figure 20 refer to the percent increase in the salary structure pay line encompassing all salary range control points.

Variable Pay

Variable pay is the percentage of payroll established by management to grant to employees for performance-based, lump-sum, short-term cash awards during the year. Included in this calculation are payments provided under a formal plan, such as organizationwide awards,

unit/strategic business unit (SBU) awards and/or indi-vidual incentive awards. (Specific salesforce incentive awards and cash awards for recognition are excluded from the variable pay data.)

same amount last year), the median figure of

Aggregating all Canadian employee categories,

regions and industries, the average total salary

budget increase is 3.0 percent in 2014, repre-

senting a slight uptick from the 2.9 percent

budgeted in 2013. (See Figure C1 on page 45.)

While the average salary increase budget has

budgets signals a lack of labor market pressures on

wages, similar to what the United States is experiencing.

Economies continue to recover from the 2009 recession,

but employers are currently able to attract and retain

the talent they need with moderate pay increases.

Inflation and Unemployment

Inflation was 2.0 percent for the 12-month period

ending April 2014, according to Statistics Canada’s

Consumer Price Index. That agency also reported the

average unemployment rate at 6.9 percent for the same

period. This is lower than the United States’ jobless

rate, but there does not appear to be more pressure

on wages than in the U.S., with both averaging similar

amounts for pay increases.

Increase by Province

Most provinces reported similar salary increase budgets

for this year, with the majority between 2.7 and 2.9

percent. There was some minor movement in averages

for many provinces, but median figures remained fairly

flat and in line with the national average.

Increase by Metropolitan Area

Metropolitan areas within Canada showed some-

what more variance in salary increase budgets, with

Calgary and Edmonton at the high end — 3.3 and 3.2

percent, respectively — and Hamilton reporting a low

of 2.7 percent.


The average structure adjustment across all employee

categories in 2014 is 1.7 percent (median: 2.0 percent),

down from 1.9 percent last year (median: 2.0 percent).

For 2015, organizations are projecting a 2.0 percent

mean and median increase in all employee categories.

The average structure adjustment across all employee categories in 2014 is 1.7 percent

(median: 2.0 percent), down from 1.9 percent last year (median: 2.0 percent).

The “WorldatWork Salary Budget Survey” has histori-

cally collected, analyzed and reported salary budget

increase data for the United States and Canada.

Strategic Rewards Group’s merit and inflation survey

has also been republished in the salary budget survey

for years, addressing the demand for international data

on 72 other countries. Increasingly though, U.S.-based

organizations, interested in benchmarking global pay

practices, have sought international data that mirror

WorldatWork’s types of data and employee categories.

2012 was the first year WorldatWork reported salary

budget increase data for 11 countries in addition to

the U.S. and Canada. Only core salary budget data were

collected; secondary data, such as salary structure

adjustments and variable pay budgets, were gathered

only from U.S. organizations. Based on feedback from

survey users, four additional countries were added to

the survey in 2013.

This year, more than 2,200 responses were received for

the surveyed countries outside of the U.S. and Canada.

There are 17 countries for which both WorldatWork

and Strategic Rewards Group data are presented:

❚❚ Australia

❚❚ Belgium

❚❚ Brazil

❚❚ Canada

❚❚ China

❚❚ France

❚❚ Germany

International Salary Budget Increases

Of the countries surveyed by WorldatWork, India,

China and Brazil averaged the highest 2014 total salary

budget increases at 10.5, 8.2 and 7.2 percent, respec-

tively (medians: 11.0, 8.3 and 7.3 percent). These three

countries have retained the largest increases since

WorldatWork expanded its data collection in 2012, and

all are projecting similar salary increase budgets for

2015. (See Figure G1a on pages 56-57.) Last year, most

countries were reporting a drop in the size of planned

pay increases. This year, all 17 countries reported 2014

salary increase budgets at or above 2013 levels.

More of the same is anticipated in all surveyed coun-

tries except for Australia and Italy, which anticipate a

drop in budgets by a tenth of a percentage point to 3.6

percent (median: 3.8 percent) and 2.7 percent (median

2.8 percent), respectively.

Mandatory Pay Increases

There are many factors that contribute to salary budget

planning trends. And, those factors can vary as much

from country to country as the salary budget increase

figures. One important consideration is whether a

country requires pay increases. Some countries require

annual increases for only those employees earning

minimum wage. Others have statutory requirements

for base pay increases that are not performance

based. One of the more common scenarios is that the

government does not mandate a pay increase outside

of a collective-bargaining agreement, but when union

membership applies, an annual contract negotiation

and/or pay increase can be required.

Mandated pay increases do not necessarily inflate

salary increase budgets if the size of the planned pay

increase meets the statutory or collective-bargaining

requirement. So even in countries that have require-

ments, there wouldn’t necessarily be an impact on total

salary budget increase figures.

Furthermore, data were collected by type of pay

increase and survey respondents were not advised

during participation on where to report mandatory pay

increases. Mandatory pay increases may be included

in the general increase/Cost-of-Living Adjustment

(COLA), merit increase, and/or other increase figure if

applicable for a specific country.


GLO

BA

L

Data by Type of Pay Increase

Figures G1a and G1b on pages 57-58 outline salary

budget increases by type. A focus on programs that

tie performance to pay appears prevalent across all

countries surveyed. In general, budgets for merit

increases represent the highest budgeted amount in

most countries. One exception is Brazil, where the

general increase of 6.8 percent (median: 7.0 percent) is

higher than the merit increase budgeted of 5.1 percent

(median: 6.0 percent).

Data by Employee Category

International data gathered by WorldatWork were

aggregated using WorldatWork’s method of collecting

and reporting salary budget increase data by employee

category. When comparing data by employee category,

the differences are fairly minor for most countries.

(See Figures G2a and G2b on pages 59-62.)

This lack of differentiation for some countries may be

due to U.S.-based respondents submitting the same

value for all employee categories because they have

limited access to international budget figures for their

organization. WorldatWork continues to monitor this

data for any trends.

Notes About International Data

Where discrepancies occur between WorldatWork

and Strategic Rewards Group (SRG) data, differences

in methodologies, particularly the handling of zero-

percent responses, and differences in sample sizes

should be considered. As a default, WorldatWork

includes zero-percent responses in the analysis of all

data; Strategic Rewards Group excludes zero-percent

responses. In order to allow for easier comparison

of all international data contained in this report,

WorldatWork’s international tables are presented both

with and without zero-percent responses.

While discrepancies in data are still possible due to

differences in methodologies and sample sizes, for the

best comparison between WorldatWork and SRG data,

please compare the general increase/COLA and merit

increase rows of Figure G1b to Figure G4. In Figure G4,

the planned increase average columns include both the

average merit increase and the average inflation-based

pay increase. (Please see Methodology section on page

7 and the notes after Figure G4 on pages 63-65 for

further explanation.)

Although WorldatWork reports aggregated data

for as few as five organizations within a country,

data corresponding to larger sample sizes will have

stronger statistical power and validity. Some caution

should be exercised when using data points contained

in this report that have been aggregated from

relatively few respondents.

Unlimited, customized reports for the U.S. and Canada

can be run through the “Online Reporting Tool.” (See

page 6 for instructions.) In 2014, WorldatWork did not

receive enough responses from any other country to

support user-customized cuts of data from an online

database. WorldatWork hopes to increase the number

of responses for all countries to expand the coverage of

the “Online Reporting Tool.”

❚❚ A total of 72 countries (plus Euro Zone average) but data are available for another 62 countries. Specific labor markets and/or sectors are available for $250 per location (e.g. Brazil- Rio de Janerio, Sao Paulo, and Brazilia).

❚❚ For more information about the survey from SRG, please contact [email protected]

and other increases granted or scheduled to be granted in the

year, and dividing the total salaries of all eligible employees

whether or not they received a salary increase.
