One of the rewards given to Roman soldiers was an allowance, or salarium, to buy salt, hence the words salary and soldier.

Once again this year we are running our Salary Comparison service for smaller housing providers.

For an organisation with ten staff it should take about two hours to enter details for the whole organisation, although those who participated last year will simply have to update last year‘s figures. For those who have not participated before there is more detail below.

Salaries, terms and conditions should be be recorded as at 1 April and must be submitted by 5 August 2022.
The reports will be sent to participants by the end of August.

This service is free for Acuity Benchmarking subscribers. Please let us know if you would like to take part this year.

How Salary Comparison Works

Our Salaries Comparison service uses web-forms and a secure database to capture and compare details of each job-role in member organisations; defining the role and the responsibilities as well as the rewards offered.

There is a great deal of diversity within the sector and roles in smaller organisations are often hard to pin down. We have worked closely with chief executives from smaller housing providers to design a system that captures all the relevant information. We have made the process as simple as possible to complete while capturing enough information about each job- role to enable meaningful comparisons.

For smaller organisations job-title alone is not necessarily a good indication of a person‘s role, so each post is rated using a simple matrix of areas/levels of responsibility. Each organisation also inputs a summary of their general terms and conditions
