Subscription Schedule

The various levels of participation provide participants a range of choice to meet their specific information needs or budget. There are five participation levels:

  • Level A
  • Level B1
  • Level B2
  • Level C1
  • Level C2
  • Level A.

    Level A represents the most economical and convenient way for Councils to obtain comprehensive salary comparisons based on Australia's largest database of Council salaries.

    Level A participants receive a position description matched Contributor Report following each six-monthly survey update. This Report shows for each job submitted by the participant a comparison of all salary package components with the corresponding analysis based on all Councils in the survey. Comparisons are also given with Councils of similar annual expenditure budget and with Councils in the same State as the participant.

    Level A participants use the NRC internet-based survey Data Management system. This secure, and strictly controlled password protected system allows the participant to review their survey data at any time.

    Level B1  

    In addition to the features of Level A, Level B1 participants also have access to the comprehensive, on-line Survey Report covering all jobs surveyed.

    This option provides unparalleled value for Councils that want a comprehensive view of where their salaries stand relative to all other Councils on a job description matched basis.

    Level B2  

    Level B2 includes all the features of Level B1, with the important addition of comparisons with the NRC all-industries database for those participant jobs that are common across all industries. All-industries comparisons are provided in the Contributor Report.

    This option provides unique value for Councils that want a comprehensive view of where their salaries stand relative to other Councils on a job description matches basis, as well as with respect to the wider community in which they compete for staff.

    Level C1  

    Level C1 participants receive a Contributor Report based on both a job evaluated and position description matched basis following each six-monthly survey update. This Report shows for each job submitted by the participant a comparison of all salary package components with the corresponding analysis from all other Councils combined. The comparisons are presented on the basis of job grade (as determined by the job points), and on a position description matched basis.

    Level C1 includes access to the comprehensive, on-line Survey Report covering all jobs surveyed.

    Level C1 also includes the on-line Jobscore job evaluation.

    This is the most cost effective option available in the market today for Councils that include job evaluation as part of their human resource management process.

    Level C2  

    Level C2 includes all the features of Levels B1 and C1 with the addition of job evaluated comparisons with the NRC all-industries database.

    The following table summarises the features of these Levels:
