Abbott, Langer Association Surveys FAQ#1

QUESTION:  What type of salary information do you provide?

Abbott, Langer Association Surveys (ALAS) and ERI Salary Surveys provide salary and benefits survey reports to subscribers. ALAS has long focused on the nonprofit and manufacturing sectors. ERI Salary Surveys was created by ERI Economic Research Institute to provide online survey capabilities and international salary surveys.  Both sites are operated under license from ERI Economic Research Institute, Inc. The latter provides salary surveys for US, Canada, UK, France, and Italy as well archival surveys for ERI Assessor Series subscribers' historical research and litigation support.  The former, as part of the ERI family of salary surveys, has provided both participant and non-participant surveys that are used in salary planning and other HR management decision making since 1967. Clients have included such diverse organizations as associations and other not-for-profit organizations, food & beverage processors, governmental agencies, hospitals & nursing homes, insurance companies, magazines, manufacturing firms, etc. They vary in size from extremely small organizations to those with over four billion dollars in annual sales volume, and include firms that are local, regional, national, and international in scope of operations.

Nonprofit organizations and societies often sponsor Abbott, Langer Association Surveys with member participation. Sponsors assist with advertising (most often placing notice of a membership survey on their web site) and share in the resultant associated revenue. A license and lease agreement exists with ERI Economic Research Institute, Inc. for the use of its online interactive salary survey patent (won in March 2005). Abbott, Langer Association Surveys and ERI Salary Surveys also report work content data provided under license from the PAQ Services, Inc. eDOT Skills Project databases.

In February 2007, Abbott, Langer Association Surveys moved all survey operations and offices of some 40 years in Crete, Illinois to Washington, DC.
