ERI Assessor Series® research vs.
PAQ SalaryExpert Global Salary Calculator® sources

ERI’s Assessor Series values are derived 100% from employer-provided input, including digitization of records, leased datasets, and ERI’s proprietary salary surveys, all targeted to specific jobs.  SalaryExpert’s estimates are derived from these generalized job family data collections: 1) input via www.globalsalarycalculator.com using ERI’s C3 Job Family Matrix, 2) data leased from countries’ national statistics offices (BLS OES in the U.S.), and 3) employee-provided data (see examples).  SalaryExpert’s salary estimates are derived from a distributed ranking of competencies within these job families; see PAQ’s eDOT Competency Project.  Unadjusted for size or industry and heavily influenced by employee inputs, SalaryExpert’s estimates are typically 89% of ERI’s Assessor Series employer-provided values.  Perfect for low paying organizations such as charities or nonprofits, PAQ’s Global Salary Calculator provides a rebuttal to many dot.com’s inflated values.  For the highest quality, U.S. employer-provided data, benchmarked to industry, size, date, and geographic location, 10,000 subscribers utilize ERI’s Assessor Series data, where “n’s,” rates of error, and source documents are made available, for compensation and salary planning, expert witness testimony, relocations, disability determinations, board level presentations, setting branch office salary structures, and determination of defensible “beginning to experienced” salary and bonus levels.
