DETERMINING 2000 TO 2001 SALARY ADJUSTMENT
2. PRODUCTIVITY
FACTOR (Increase in Gross Domestic Product)
In
addition to the percentage increase in the CPI, an amount is added to
allow for sharing in economic growth. (The Gross Domestic Product is
now used as the main aggregate for measuring Canada's economic development.)
Note: In
its August 2000 report, the Conference Board of Canada reported an expected
5.3 percent growth in the Alberta economy for 2000, and a forecast 4.3
percent growth for 2001.
3. DEMAND
FACTOR
It
is anticipated in 2001, that there will be reasonably strong demand
for many of the engineering and goescience disciplines, despite some
economic uncertainty in the world. While it is expected that demand
factors for specific professions and industry sectors will vary considerably,
an overall demand factor for the three professions is estimated at 1.0%.
Members who are aware that their expertise is in short supply may want
to uses a higher estimate for their demand factor; members who are aware
that supply in their field of practice is abundant, may want to use
a lower estimate.

EXAMPLE
|
|
Using
the factors outlined under our example, the June 2000 survey data
in Section 2 can be adjusted to June 2001 by adding what you estimate
the increase will be for each of three factors for the 12-month
period.
The
salary adjustment estimates (as explained under each factor) are
as follows:
|
|
Inflation
Factor (CPI) 4.0%
Productivity
Factor (GDP) 4.9%
Demand
Factor 1.0%
Estimated
Salary Adjustment
from
2000 to 2001 9.9%
This
example is illustrative only. Individual situations may vary considerably.
