EMPLOYER COSTS FOR EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION, 1986-2001
The following tables provide data on Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC), a Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) compensation measure. The ECEC measures the average hourly cost that employers pay for wages and salaries plus the cost per hour worked for benefits. Computed from data collected for the Employment Cost Index (ECI), a principal Federal economic indicator published by BLS, the ECEC provides a snapshot of the structure of compensation at a specific point in time. The ECI, in contrast, is a fixed employment-weighted index that tracks changes in labor costs, free from the influence of employment shifts among occupations and industries. Both the ECEC and the ECI are part of the BLS National Compensation Survey, which also provides information on occupational wage rates by locality and the incidence and provisions of employee benefits.
The ECEC is calculated by applying current, rather than fixed, employment weights to salary and benefit cost data from the establishments in the ECI survey. Estimates were published annually from 1986 through 2001 using payroll data that include March 12th as the reference period. Beginning in March 2002, data are available quarterly.
ECEC data were first published for March 1986 and were limited to private industry. In 1988, the ECEC expanded to include data by bargaining status, more detailed major industry groups, and geographic regions. In 1991, ECEC data were published for civilian workers, State and local government workers, and private industry workers by establishment employment size. BLS further expanded the ECEC in 1993 to include data for full- and part-time workers in private industry.
Some benefit definitions were changed in 1996 to improve data quality and to better reflect terminology and definitions in the compensation community. These changes included:
• Long-term disability insurance was reported as a separate benefit. Previously it had been included in the sickness and accident insurance component.
• Social Security was divided into Old-age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) and Medicare components.
• The pension and savings and thrift benefits in the retirement and savings category were reclassified into either defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Although the individual retirement components were no longer comparable, the overall category of retirement and savings remained comparable over time.
• Railroad benefit costs were reclassified into the benefit category that matched their intended purpose. For example, Railroad Retirement, Tier 1, is included in the Social Security component; Railroad Retirement, Tier 2, and Railroad Supplemental Retirement are now in the defined benefit category. Previously,
- 2 -
all railroad benefits had been included in the legally required benefits category.
In 1998, the sickness and accident insurance component was renamed short-term disability and the definition was expanded to include all insured, self-insured, and State- mandated plans that provided benefits for each disability, including unfunded plans. In 2001, the definition of nonproduction bonuses was expanded to include, in addition to the traditional types of nonproduction bonuses such as attendance bonuses and lump sum payments, hiring and referral bonuses.
The ECEC, like the ECI, defines wages and salaries as the hourly straight-time wage rate. For workers paid on an hourly basis, the wage rate is the cost per hour paid. For workers not paid on an hourly basis, straight-time earnings are divided by the scheduled hours corresponding to the earnings. Straight-time wage and salary rates are total earnings before payroll deductions and include production bonuses, incentive pay, commissions, and cost-of-living allowances. Not included in straight-time earnings are nonproduction bonuses such as lump-sum payments provided in place of wage increases, shift differentials, and premium pay for overtime and weekend work; these payments are included in the benefits component.
Benefits include: Paid leave--vacations, holidays, sick leave, and other leave; supplemental pay--premium pay for work in addition to the regular work schedule (such as overtime, weekends, and holidays), shift differentials, and nonproduction bonuses (such as referral bonuses and lump-sum payments provided in place of wage increases); insurance benefits--life, health, short-term disability, and long-term disability; retirement and savings benefits--defined benefit and defined contribution plans; legally required benefits--social security, medicare, Federal and State unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation; and other benefits--severance pay and supplemental unemployment plans.
In comparing changes in the ECEC over time, users should be aware of several limitations of the data. Until 1996, the ECI sample, the source of these data, was systematically replaced by industry over a four to five year cycle. Now, a cross-industry sample replacement process is in place. Changes over time in the ECEC are, therefore, affected both by changes in the employer costs for samples that continue from previous periods, and by changes in the samples of establishments. Sampling changes may have an impact on cost changes estimated over a short time interval. Consequently, BLS advises caution in interpreting short-term comparisons of costs per hour worked.
The levels of employer costs for employee compensation shown in the following tables were calculated using different employment patterns for each successive time period. For example, the cost levels calculated in 1986 reflect employment patterns for that year, whereas the 2001 data reflect 2001 employment patterns. Therefore, changes in cost levels over time reflect both changing rates of compensation and changes in relative employment among occupations and industries with different rates of compensation. A
- 3 -
measure of the change in rates of compensation that is not influenced by employment shifts among occupations and industries is provided by the Employment Cost Index.
Information on the ECEC is available from several sources. Information on how costs are calculated appears in “Measuring Trends in the Structure and Levels of Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,” Compensation and Working Conditions, Summer 1997. A detailed explanation on how to analyze differences in year-to-year changes is available from “Analyzing Year-to-Year Changes in Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,” Compensation and Working Conditions, Spring 1998. This article supplements an article from the Summer 1997 issue of Compensation and Working Conditions, “Explaining the Differential Growth Rates of the ECI and ECEC,” which examined how differences in the construction of these measures contribute to differing trends.
