all data before entry into our database. You can use our data with confidence

organizations. Individuals submitting data for their organization
must be an executive or professional within an HR or finance department.

from other surveys. And we do not purchase data from third-party providers.

Learn More About Our Participation Requirements
We collect and report updated compensation data year-round, allowing you to base your
compensation decisions on always-current data. Since we collect and update compensation
data throughout the year, our data more accurately reflects changes in the market compared
to surveys that only collect and report data once a year.
At the beginning of each month, we publish new datasets with current data for our
online reports. After new datasets are published, you have the option to use the
new dataset or continue working with an existing dataset to ensure consistency in
the data you are using.
We provide participants the option to view cash compensation data adjusted to a
common effective salary date using budgeted base salary increase factors provided
by our participants.
Our analysts thoroughly review all submitted survey data for completeness and accuracy.
We carefully verify all new data submissions before they are imported into our report
database.
All participants are required to provide us with contact information, in case we
need to ask questions or resolve issues about submitted data. If a survey submission
is incomplete or contains questionable data points, our compensation analysts contact
the participant directly by phone or e-mail to obtain the necessary information.
Throughout the year, as new data is imported and old data is removed, we conduct
detailed audits of our survey database to ensure that report outputs are reliable
and valid.
We fully recognize the sensitivity of participant data and hold individual company and employee
data in strictest confidence. Data submitted to Culpepper is not disclosed
to or resold by third parties. Survey data is only published in aggregate form and is never
displayed or released by Culpepper in such a way that a participant's pay levels, practices,
or personally identifiable information (PII) could be determined.
We adhere to Safe Harbor Guidelines from the U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC), providing antitrust
protection to our survey participants.
Our compensation surveys meet the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) criteria
for salary surveys used to determine prevailing wages for work visas (e.g., H-1B)
and labor certification.
