Methodology

Mercer presents this survey’s results using two different approaches:

• Traditional: comparison done by identifying the banking industry equivalent in Mercer’s job catalogue.
• Job pre-evaluation: all positions are analyzed using a system, which delimitates the job responsibilities in relation to the job titles (Mercer system IPEv3.1)

Mercer´s methodology analyzes the total remuneration in six levels:

• Base salary = Base salary multiplied by 12
• Base annual salary= Base salary + Christmas bonus (multiplied by 13)
• Total guaranteed cash compensation = Base salary plus guaranteed allowances
• Total cash compensation = Total guaranteed cash compensation plus short-term incentive, sales incentive, profit sharing or other incentive awards
• Total direct compensation = Total cash compensation plus long-term incentive awards, valued using Black-Scholes methodology for appreciation-based awards
• Total remuneration = Total direct compensation plus benefits and perquisites.

The catalogue includes approximately 600 positions from all levels (from Analysts to CEOs) in different areas of the company.

Results are delivered via Mercer WIN®, an interactive tool that allows access to the Club survey results and enables you to:

• Generate unlimited ad-hoc reports (by job title, compensation level, etc.)
• Organize job groupings for better reporting
• Export results to Excel
• Update data by index, both your company’s and the market’s data
