Scope and Methodology
1. Objective
The aim of this survey is to collect information on the pay trend of full-time salaried employees working in different business sectors in Hong
Kong between 2014 and 2015. Besides, information on various types of benefits was also collected for analysis. These findings will help
companies make informed hiring decisions and provide useful data on pay/benefits adjustment.
2. Survey coverage
The survey covered 99 companies from 20 business sectors. Only full-time salaried employees working in Hong Kong were surveyed.
Expatriates, part-time and temporary employees were excluded. Among the surveyed companies, 63% of the companies employ less than
50 staff, 17% employ 50-100 staff, 8% employ 101-200 staff, 7% employ 201-500 staff, and 5% employ more than 500 staff.

Scope and Methodology (con’t)
3. Datum Point
Basic monthly salary (excluding any bonuses, but including commission) of surveyed companies as at 1 September 2014 was recorded and
predicted adjustment of basic monthly salary in 2015 was captured. The compensation and benefits in 2014 and 2015 were also surveyed.
4. Data Collection Method
The survey was conducted through an online questionnaire. Companies were invited to fill in the questionnaire through email from 27
October to 19 November 2014.
5. Data Analysis
Surveyed companies were requested to provide data of basic monthly salary of each job position in 2014, predicted salary adjustment of
each job position in 2015 and compensation and/or benefits provided.
The data was analyzed to determine the “average”, “median”, “25th percentile”, “75th percentile”, or “percentage” for basic monthly
salary, predicted salary adjustment, annual leave, performance bonus and double pay. For other compensation or benefits, “percentage”
was to be determined.
Separate analyses were carried out by grouping the surveyed companies according to their business sector or size, or grouping job
positions according to job functions.

Conclusion (con’t)
Benefits
In 2014, surveyed companies provided 14.3 days annual leave to their employees on average. Other common types of leave include
marriage leave (78%), compassionate leave (75%) and paternity leave (42%), all of these see a slight increase when compared with last
year’s results. Paternity leave is remarkably getting more popular among special leaves provided by employers.
Most of the surveyed employers are willing to provide some basic benefits such as health insurance, while flexible working hour and
family-friendly benefits are still not very common. As there is an increasing concern for work-life balance, employers should
further explore the possibility of introducing such benefits.
