‘Snapshot’ Feature and Comparative Salary Information

The Guide provides comparative information on salary rates being paid from January 2009 up to and including January 2012, at 6 monthly intervals, drawn from 75 “live” mainstream certified or collective agreements applying to agencies of all sizes in the Commonwealth public sector.

The Guide also includes our ‘Snapshot’ feature. This has proved to be a most useful analysis tool for agencies, as it provides valuable information and analysis on what the Commonwealth is paying at the minimum and maximum of each of the eight APS classification levels (APS1-6 and EL1 and 2).
Details are provided at 6 monthly intervals showing the following:

• first quartile (25th percentile);
•  median (50th percentile);
•  third quartile (75th percentile); and
•  average rates (total of the rates divided by the number of agencies subject to analysis).

This is essential information for agencies engaged in salary bargaining or addressing market issues relating to attraction and retention of a high performing workforce. In an environment where salary differentials between agencies can vary by thousands of dollars at level, it is now more important than ever to know where you are placed in the market and what you need to offer in order to remain competitive.
