All salaried figures are based on a forty-hour week; "on-call" and daily-rate employees should adjust their salary figures accordingly for comparison purposes.

Next week I'll be finalizing the results in all categories; final numbers are subject to adjustment from what you see above. The results will be published in the October Peg-Board, and links will be sent out on this blog, on the website and on the e-mail list.
