The 2018 Compensation and Benefits Survey follows.  Please review the instructions

for completion and submission of the survey prior to working on it. Based on member

feedback, some modifications have been made to the previous surveys including:

1.       Dividing the survey into two parts and distributing to members at two separate times during the year  (February for the Salary Section and July for the Benefits Section) in hopes of improving

Response rates by minimizing labor requirements for completing the survey.

2.       Shortening the survey as appropriate to ensure members and OPRA have access to needed salary

and benefits information.

Prior surveys have been well received by our members. The results of the 2018 survey

will be used in multiple ways including OPRA's lobbying and education initiatives with

legislators and state departments and your organization's internal benchmarking of

of pay, benefits and turnover with other OPRA members.

Issues of salaries/pay rates, employee  turnover and recruitment remain critical, in

light of Ohio’s downsizing  and system re-alignment efforts.  Therefore, we encourage

all OPRA members to participate in the survey.

Participating members will receive a complimentary copy of this year's final report.

Please Note:

This year's survey is divided and sent to OPRA members in two parts;  1) Compensation/

Turnover and 2) Employee Benefits.   The Compensation/Turnover section is attached

and the benefits section will be distributed to our members later this year.

The due date for the attached survey is February 26th.    Please let me know if you have

any questions.

Thanking you in advance,

Anita Allen
