2015 AGC of Minnesota / PAS Survey - Last Chance to Register to Participate

Every two years, AGC of Minnesota sponsors a Specialty and General Contractor Executive and Staff Compensation Survey.  The survey provides important information regarding previous and anticipated compensation increases, bonuses, fringe benefits, etc. Participants will be able to determine how their compensation practices compare to other participants as a whole, and to others in their particular type and size.  Most non-craft job classifications are covered.  This survey is performed on a confidential basis by PAS (nationally recognized construction industry compensation analysts) as a service to AGC of Minnesota Specialty and General Contractor members.  AGC will not be involved in the collection or reporting of the data and the survey will be entirely between the contractor and PAS.  Complete confidentiality is guaranteed.
 

This year, the survey will only be sent to those who sign up in advance. Register now with Pat Lynch at  plynch@agcmn.org or at 651-796-2181 to participate.

 

The survey will be sent in mid-August to those who register.
·         Those contractors who participate will receive a free report.  
·         Those contractors who do not participate will not receive a report.  
·         Copies will not be made available for purchase.
