AAP Salary and Benefits Survey
The Ambulance Association of
Pennsylvania is conducting a survey of EMS salaries and benefits to
evaluate the EMS workforce. Please review the following
information and encourage your service manager to complete this
important survey.
Recruiting and retaining good employees is difficult. Offering a
competitive wage and benefits package becomes more important....but how
do you know if you are offering a competitive benefits package compared
to other services in your region or across the Commonwealth?
The Salary and Benefits Survey has been designed to collect data on the
salaries and benefits packages offered by the industry and will be used
to show trends over time. Trends in the decline of volunteerism,
benefits and salaries offered along with the increased cost for fuel and
the high cost of drugs and technology all attribute to the rising cost
to provide ambulance service. We need to show the insurers, the
legislature, and other organizations what that all means to
Pennsylvania and the essential service that
EMS provides to the residents.
The results will be collected in aggregate and anonymously. In
compliance with federal safe harbor laws, the survey must be managed by
a third-party, such as the AAP; the information provided is based on
data more than three months old; and there are at least five providers
reporting data upon which each statistic is based, meaning that no
individual provider's data represents more than 25% on a weighted basis
of that statistic and any information disseminated is sufficiently
aggregated such that it would not allow recipients to identify the
prices charged or compensation paid by any particular provider.
The results will be presented utilizing a low, median, and high reported
results for a particular region and statewide. The results will be
posted on our website and you will receive notification when the summary
has been published.
Now it is up to you! Please take a few minutes to respond to this
survey no later than September 15, 2008.
The
survey is on the AAP web page, www.aa-pa.org, in the lower left corner.
When
you submit your information, you will receive a discount off of the
purchase of an AAP logo product as a small token of thanks for
participating in this important project.
