Vital Information for Wage and Labour Cost Planning & Budgeting
As organisations prepare for wage negotiations, it is important to have access to information that will support your overall strategy, simplify the collective bargaining process and avoid unnecessary delays and setbacks. The Wage Settlement Survey has provided this information for over 20 years, with reliable, accurate and sound economic markers utilised by a wide range of organisations and institutions.
In today’s economic climate, it is imperative that the parties reach optimum settlements based on comparative data, trends and benchmarks and are able to counter unreasonable demands. The Wage Settlement Survey is designed to take the sting out of your negotiations and will enable you to bargain confidently with all the facts at your fingertips. The reports include the following information and where applicable tables, charts and historical comparisons are included –
- Labour market analysis
- Pertinent legislative changes
- Important economic indicators
- Average level of settlement by union and sector
- Average minimum wage across industry
- Non-wage demands vs management counter-demands
- The current negotiating climate
- The outcome of centralized bargaining agreements
- Strike incidence, triggers and analyses
Information Service: As an additional service, Subscribers can contact us for wage related information.
The bulk of the survey information comes directly from our subscribers in the form of a completed questionnaire as and when their annual / multi-stage wage negotiations are completed. As a subscriber you will be requested to provide us with this information on completion of your wage negotiations. Whilst this is not obligatory, a cross-section of responses does enable us to provide a more comprehensive and relevant report. (This information is treated in the strictest confidence and at no stage are the names of companies reported or divulged to third parties).
