As stated in the November Action Newsletter, ABC is collecting data for the 2010 wage and benefit survey. All members should have received a mailing with the survey form.  You may also go to www.abcnhvt.org for a copy of the survey form. This anonymous survey is the only one of its kind available in our area. The survey data is extremely important to member’s efforts to understand current wage and benefit practices and to maintain competitive practices to attract and retain quality employees.

In recent years the survey questions have been changed to gather more specific information concerning health care benefits. The increasing cost of health care is a major challenge for all members and the survey results will provide valuable insight. Last years survey included responses from 90 contractors and covered wage and benefit practices for 27 classifications of employees. Your survey response is important to assure we receive enough data to provide as much information for as many employee classifications as possible on this year’s survey. Please contact the chapter office with any questions. Also, if you would like a copy of last years survey results contact the chapter office.
