Salary Checker FAQs

How do I know that the information provided by the Salary Check is reliable and accurate?

WageIndicator gathers its data from voluntarily provided information. As a result, data accuracy cannot be guaranteed. WageIndicator believes that while maintaining their anonymity, its respondents provide accurate and precise personal information. The Salary Check is updated every six months to avoid outdated information. Additionally, the dataset is cleaned and reorganised before statistical calculations, eliminating falsified cases to further aid in reliability.

What is the difference between Salary Check of WageIndicator and any other nation survey conducted by the government?

Unlike nationally published information, which is published sporadically, WageIndicator updates information on a regular basis. WageIndicator updates their information twice a year, re-calculating statistical data and removing unwanted and old information from the website. This data reflects actual earnings of various occupations around the country in which they operate. The survey by itself is thoroughly detailed and results are used to monitor and address developments in emerging labour markets.

Why is my gender, education, and age necessary for the survey?

Personal information such as age, occupation and gender affect wages earned by various individuals. WageIndicator data also shows that different genders earn different wages, even when their occupations are similar. Gender wage gaps reveal that, even when men and women contribute equally to their occupations, women are compensated unfairly. Daily, weekly, and monthly earnings also cannot be calculated owing to differences in working hours, pay for various age groups, and pay for different genders. Employee productivity is also heavily influenced by level of education. The greater an individual's educational level, the more complicated the jobs allotted to them—which increases their income. As a result, knowing these characteristics is required to statistically calculate salaries accurately.
