[NCASG] IT Salary Data: Some Very Quick Questions for NCASG Members

Fri Oct 30 15:37:20 MDT 2020

Hi Patrick,

We are currently working through a job assessment for IT jobs and hope to wrap it up by the end of the year. We would be very interested in obtaining the results from this survey if you could share!

1.       Does your state primarily use market data, internal alignment, or other methods to determine appropriate pay grades for its IT job classes?
We use a combination of both - internally aligned and externally competitive. Where we have limited external data, we use slotting as needed.

2.       Over the past 5 years or so, has your state used any of the following in determining pay grades for IT job classes (and, please let us know how valuable you found it as a resource):

a.       Annual Mercer/Gartner Information Technology Survey? We have purchased this in the past, but participation was complex!

b.       ERI Salary Assessor?

c.       Any of the annual Milliman surveys?

d.       Any other surveys and/or compensation software (e.g., Culpepper, Salary.com, PayScale)? CompAnalyst is our main source; we also use CompData, PayScale, and PayFactors PEER when matches are available.

3.       Based on your experiences over the past 5 years or so, are there any other compensation resources you would like to recommend?
Just insights on our existing survey sources - CompAnalyst runs high, Pay Scale runs low. I'm interested in others' responses here too!

Good Afternoon Everyone.

The State of Alaska is conducting a major review and update of its IT job classes and is exploring various resources and tools to use in assessing the pay grades of these classes. I was hoping to reach out to all of you (or someone you believe would be a more appropriate resource) with a few very quick questions:

1.       Does your state primarily use market data, internal alignment, or other methods to determine appropriate pay grades for its IT job classes?

2.       Over the past 5 years or so, has your state used any of the following in determining pay grades for IT job classes (and, please let us know how valuable you found it as a resource):

a.       Annual Mercer/Gartner Information Technology Survey?

b.       ERI Salary Assessor?

c.       Any of the annual Milliman surveys?

d.       Any other surveys and/or compensation software (e.g., Culpepper, Salary.com<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__Salary.com&d=DwQFAg&c=xlPCXuHzMdaH2Flc1sgyicYpGQbQbU9KDEmgNF3_wI0&r=SEzFqN_i7ITCHrshYd17-7xiSWyRIDXIvtD5tP7SsBA&m=IhW3J6uYNXS_xT5iBSrkLhNF8X5SucPs8X7XmTiRazA&s=MFhnRnwJqIXqH5ZNUL33LkYH1oH6lKUFxSrLRwcL3ik&e=>, PayScale)?

3.       Based on your experiences over the past 5 years or so, are there any other compensation resources you would like to recommend?

I appreciate this is a tight turnaround but, if at all possible, please ask your respondents to reply back to me no later than Wednesday, November 4, 2020.

Thank you. I appreciate your time and consideration of these questions and look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a great weekend!
