Average management salary increase 3.7 per cent in 1995 Non -management employees received 2.7 per cent TORONTO - The average sala- ry increase for management em- ployees was 3.7 percent in 1995, compared to 2.7 percent for non- management employees, accord- ing to compensation reports re- leased by the actuarial, benefits and compensation consulting firm Sobeco Ernst & Young. However, in all categories, more than 30 percent of employ- ees had their salaries frozen. For those who had increases, senior management received average in- creases of 7.8 percent, middle management received five per- cent and non -management re- ceived 4.3 percent. "The real increase in earning • power varies for different levels of employees when looking at the current (2.7 percent) June to June increase in inflation," said Alisa Dunbar, principal and senior* ex- ecutive compensation consultant. "Most management salary in- creases arc well in excess of the inflation rate, although for one third of the managers who are subject to salary freezes, their purchasing power is falling be- hind," she said. "On the other end, most non -management sala- ry increases have been modest, and in some cases, less than the rate of inflation overall." The human resource consulting firm surveyed over 400 compa- nies in Canada, covering 54,000 employees. Sobeco Ernst & Young publishes annual reports on compensation levels for execu- tives; management; manufactur- ing, trade and service staff; ad- ministrative, technical and professional staff; and sales repre- sentatives. More executives and senior management had their salaries frozen (38 percent) than did mid- dle managers (32 percent) in 1995. Further, about one-third of administrative, technical, and pro- fessional staff and almost one half of manufacturing, trade, and ser- vice staff had their salaries fro- zen. There are a number of reasons for the incidences of salary freez- es for management, said Andre Sauvd, Partner of Benefits and Compensation. "For some companies, salary increases were given only to the best performers, while other em- ployers, especially in the public sector, implemented across the board salary freezes due to eco- nomic conditions." According to the report, vari- able pay is still popular with companies. Bonuses paid to management in 1995 amounted to 13 percent of their salaries - half a percentage point higher than 1994. These programs are now available to 65 percent of all of the management positions surveyed. By industry, manufacturing companies granted the highest management salary increases at 4.1 percent for management as a whole. But for hourly -paid em- ployees in the manufacturing sector, increases were much lower at 1.8 percent overall (less than the current inflation rate). The least generous salary in- creases were granted in the pub- lic sector at 1.7 percent for man- agement as a whole. Have a news hp?

The hours following the passing of a loved one are always difficult. Decisions must be made, arrangements must be put Into action. It's important that you know how to go about making this time a little easi- er. The survivors most seriously affected by a death - a spouse, for exam- ple - should be comforted by friends who can help with the little things, like meals or transportation. The family clergyman should be notified as soon as possible, for he will want to offer support to the bereaved. And a call to the funeral director, to make arrangements for services or to put Into force plans that were previously made, should be made as quickly as possible after the death. That means anytime, day or night. We are available 24 -hours a day to serve the needs of our community. Business associates, relatives and close friends should be told of the death, so they can attend the funeral services or to be of whatever as- sistance is needed. In any case, the primary concern is for those closest to the deceased, for they will feel the loss most deeply. Your questions and co ents are invited. We will, swsr them in pri- vate or publicly, throu i this column. DAN HOULE Casual 3wIndustries t, c.
