Steps/Tutorial
CompGeo Online and CompGeo Online Professional

Step 1. Review Sample Reports.

The first step in using ComGeo Online or CompGeo Online Professional is to ascertain if the type of information provided in Free Sample Reports appears to meet your salary survey needs. If the information and format of the sample reports appear useful then the next step is to determine which CompGeo Online Occupation Group(s) are relevant to the Job(s) that you need salary survey data on. Make a note on which CompGeo Online and/or CompGeo Online Professional Report Type(s) appear to be useful.

Step 2. Review the Salary Survey Report Samples and Rates Information Section

Review the Rates associated with the CompGeo Online or CompGeo Online Professional Reports options of interest.

Step 3. Determine which CompGeo Online Occupation Group(s) are relevant to the Job(s) that you need salary survey data on.

CompGeo Online Survey Benchmark Jobs are found across several Occupation Groups within the CompGeo Online database. There are 23 Occupation Groups in the CompGeo database and each contains Job Family Groups and attendent Salary Survey Benchmarks. A complete online guide to CompGeo Online Occupation Groups is available.

Note
There you will see what Management Benchmarks are found in the CompGeo Database. Not all jobs are found in every salary survey area and references to combined benchmark titles such as:

  Health Diagnosing/Treating Practitioners, All Other
Human Resources Training/Labor Relations Specialist
Marketing/Adversiting/Public Relations Managers
Engineering/Mathematics/Natural Science Managers
General Managers and Top Executives
Sales Agents, Securities/Commodities/Financial

are composite benchmarks and do not have more specific within group benchmark detail available unless such a breakout is listed in the in the online Occupation Guide. The same is true with benchmark title listings that contain the phrases 'All Other' or 'NEC' (not elswhere classified). Examples of such titles include SERVICE WORKERS, ALL OTHER, and MANAGERS AND ADMINISTRATORS, OTHER. Reports ordered for composite benchmarks will have information prepared at the composite level only unless more specific benchmarks are available and an AFL or CompGeo Online Professional Occupation Group Report is requested which would cover all benchmarks in the Job Family or Occupation Group.

Step 4. Select CompGeo Online or CompGeo Online Professional.

If your research involves only a single geographic area and/or a few survey benchmarks then the Standard or Standard-AFL CompGeo Online Report types will work well. If information desired covers a number of related benchmarks in few Occupation Groups or across many survey areas in a Region then CompGeo Online Professional Occupation Group Reports would be a better choice.

Step 5. Complete CompGeo Online (or CompGeo Online Professional) Request Order Form.

A. CompGeo Online. (For CompGeo Online Professional see Step 5B below)

If one or more benchmark(s) of interest are available, complete the order form for each Report Type desired. If Survey Benchmark Jobs lie in more that one Job Family complete separate order forms for each. If multiple job(s) fall within the same Job Family any AFL Report Type Option will automatically include all job(s) within the same Job Family.
