The Top Executive Salaries & Benefits Survey

The Organisation Size Grid

In the top executive more than any other, the size of the company has a direct effect on the magnitude of the job, and thus on the compensation appropriate to that job.

It is for this reason that throughout this report, separate rates are reported for six different 'bands' of organisation size.

Organisation size, for the purposes of this Survey, is determined by the following grid.

Number of	Annual Revenue ($Million)
Staff	Up to 25	26 to 100	101 to 250	251 to 500	501 to 1000	1001+
Up to 150	A	B	C	D	E	F
151 to 300	B	B	C	D	E	F
301 to 1000	C	C	C	D	E	F
1001 to 10000	D	D	D	D	E	F
10000 to 25000	E	E	E	E	E	F
25001+	F	F	F	F	F	F

Number of	Assets ($Million)
Staff	Up to 500	501 to 1000	1001 to 1750	1751 to 2500	2500 to 10000	10000+
Up to 150	A	B	C	D	E	F

The variables used in the grids to determine organisation size are Number of Staff and Annual Sales Turnover or Assets. The six categories typically relate to the following organisation sizes:

Grid Size (Category)	Organisation Size
A	Small size
B	Small to medium size
C	Medium size
D	Medium to large size
E	Large size
