Confidentiality

The survey is strictly confidential and participant-only - only those contributing their own data to the survey will receive access to the results. We do not give or sell information from salary surveys to any third party.

Salary Information

The analysis is statistical showing the feedback in medians, quartiles, deciles and averages job by job. We ensure anonymity including following specific rules on minimum matching, i.e. the median on a job is only shown where there are three companies reporting, quartiles with four or five reporting and deciles with six. We check matches for outweighing and if one participant has more than 25% of the job holders their input will be reduced. We validate all input data and we may contact participants to discuss any concerns. We may remove information which is anomalous. Participants receive a customised copy of the survey analysis, i.e. feeding back their own position vs the group for their matches. In the final report, names of contributing organisations are shown but only in a list of participants and not in the survey analysis. If this is a problem for your company, please contact us.

Data Protection

Alan Jones & Associates are registered with Data Protection although we do not hold any personal information about the people in the jobs, just the salary that the job is paid.
