IPG Employee Benefits and Compensation Survey

The annual IPG Employee Benefits and Compensation Survey is the best source of comprehensive data about employer benefits and pay practices in eastern Vermont and western New Hampshire.

The survey covers employee benefit programs and direct pay. In the benefits portion you’ll find comprehensive data on program features and costs for health and dental plans, disability plans, life insurance, retirement plans, holidays, vacation and combined time-off plans. The compensation section provides pay rates for more than 80 jobs commonly found in local organizations, including breakouts by geographic region and organization revenue size. It also includes pay increases and budgets, salary ranges and FLSA exemption, on-call pay, shift differentials, work schedules and hours.

Participants over the past three years include more than 70 manufacturers, technology companies, healthcare providers, printers/publishers, banks, and other organization types. Participants say:

“This survey is exactly what we needed to start our process of creating salary ranges.”

“Great local survey. This is vital information for HR groups.”

The survey covers the geographic region from the Upper Valley in the north, and south on both sides of the Connecticut River; east into New Hampshire as far as Peterborough and Hillsborough, and west into Vermont to include Brattleboro, Springfield and towns like Grafton and Chester.

Input for the survey is collected in the spring, and reports are published in August.

IPG Employee Benefits Specialists of Keene, New Hampshire sponsors and publishes the survey. Since 1985, IPG has served as a trusted advisor and consultant to hundreds of companies by providing the in-house expertise of specialists in all areas of employee benefits and compensation.
