How confidential is this data when we are asked to include our organization name and contact information?  Contact information will be kept separate from sensitive data.   We ask for your contact information to ensure your participation discount.  The Center may also use this information to contact you should analysts need clarification on your responses.

Many of our staff fall into a category that does not fit any of the job descriptions. Although I understand that I should not complete information on these employees, I feel that my and other organizations would benefit greatly from the sharing of this information. What should we do?   In deciding which job descriptions to include, we were cognizant that not all job statistics would be collected. Part of the job of this questionnaire is not only to determine nonprofit remuneration, but also to determine where the jobs lie.  If you would like us to consider adding a job description, please forward a copy of that description, along with the corresponding wage statistics to Laurette Edelmann.  If we receive enough entries for a particular job category, we will include the data in this year's report and also add it to the questionnaire for the next report.

I am the only employee in our one-person shop. Since I wear many hats, how should I report my salary?  One person shops usually have an executive director, a coordinator, or an administrative assistant level employee. Please pick the job description and qualification level that best fits your situation. The organization's budget size will identify the one-person-shop multi-taskers.

I work for an all volunteer organziation. Should I complete the survey? If you represent an all volunteer organization, please do not complete this survey.  The compiled data will be for the Report on Wages & Benefits in Northern New England, and therefore, is not appropriate for organizations that are all volunteer or only have very part-time staff.

When will the report be published?  Fall 2012 based on data collected during May and June of 2012.
