METHOD OF COLLECTION A sample of about 8,000 employers was selected from the ABS register of businesses for the May 2002 survey. Employers provide data for a sample of their employees. The number of employees selected is dependent on the total employment size of the business. Data for approximately 53,000 employees contributed to the May 2002 survey. TIMING OF COLLECTION Reference Period May. Frequency of Collection Biennial. Historical Data The collection began in 1974 and was conducted annually until 1981, when a government decision was made to continue the survey on a biennial basis. As a result, no survey was run in 1982 or 1984. However, in 1986, it was resumed on an annual basis until 1996, when it reverted to a biennial collection again. Results from surveys conducted after 1981 are not strictly comparable with those from surveys conducted between 1974 and 1981. Occupation classifications were changed in 1986 and again in 1995. Industry classifications were also redesigned in 1995. Furthermore, users comparing movements in over-award pay should note that over-award payments may be absorbed into the new wage rates paid under an enterprise award or agreement. Note: Users should be aware that the sampling method used for the survey limits the usefulness of the data for comparison between years.
